Re: October 2011
Well now 6 hours till Dd leaves. As usual nothing goes as planned. Chinese food ended up being pizza. Dh never crossed the USA border in the time expected so he will not be here to see her off.
On the plus side I have two young men to hike & pack the car. Tomorrow I will sign on as an empty nester.

Re: October 2011
It will either be homemade pizza, since I have some leftover sauce, cheese, and veggies needing to get used up. Otherwise I might just make a burger, which is more what I feel like having (and do have some in the freezer I made last week). Decisions decisions. Hard to choose at 7:30 am

Re: October 2011
Well, this week hasn't gone as planned that's for sure.
Work here and there, my son had me doing a few things and then my normal cooking for my ladies, dinner for me got all messed up.
That is not usual, I don't mind, but I don't want anything to go to waste, so I have to make sure I use everything up.
Tonight, I promised to go out with a friend. She is getting married in late January and I am doing her wedding - and she is beyond worried. I love her to death but she is OCD, a bit of ADD and is a "worry wort." And this wedding is killing her. She has the dress, I have arranged the flowers, she has the place. We've done the menu, the person performing the wedding is set, tables arranged, photographer, etc ... invitations ordered. All this has been done for the last 2 months, but every other week we meet and we go over the same stuff. I love her to death, but I'm exhausted and it isn't even Nov. So late today we will meet for lunch / dinner Happy Hour foods and go over it all again. So dinner ... not for me. I'm sure a couple of cocktails and happy hour snacks will be just fine for me.
-------------------------
I do have to cook for the ladies today who are having their Fri Card night:
Tonight they want soup and sandwiches, a cloudy rainy day.
2 big muffalata sandwiches, and a potato of creamy potato soup, a tray of steamed artichokes with a creamy lemon dip; marinated mushrooms; pickles, cheese and assorted crackers. For dessert, panacotta.
Soup and sandwiches are already done. Just finish the artichokes later and drop it all off.

Church, I have never planned a wedding but I think you have everything under control. I would want you by my side if I was doing such an event. Brides they worry about everything but when the day comes it is always "wonderful"!

Re: October 2011
It is a small wedding too, but she is just over the top. But I know when I planned my wedding, I was a bit over the top too. Just hard being on the other side. It will go off fine.Ninner wrote:Church, I have never planned a wedding but I think you have everything under control. I would want you by my side if I was doing such an event.

I did calligraphy on all the invitations by hand, then had to tie satin ribbons around each one. Took 4 days to do them all. As you can imagine, white, gold and off white is the color theme. Everything has to be perfect.
Sort of the format I followed. Cream colored rice paper with a pressed white flower glued on it. And the ribbon was a bit darker taupe satin, Luckily there were only 40 invitations.
Re: October 2011
Oh Church those do look "very" lovely. I would appreciated the time it took plus pointed it out to Dh who has no idea.
When I go married (young bride not pregnant) my Mother made it very clear who was running the show. She was paying so she was running it. Then there was MIL, no alcohol was to be served (no religious reason) I was not at that meeting (the 1st for the parents) but I can tell you this did not go well with my father. He said he was paying & his guests would be offered an alcoholic drink.

I saw it too. I'll be watching.Denise wrote:My goodness, Ninner - just you and DH, all alone in the house. Whatever will you get into?
I think tonight will be a very easy cheeseburger and fries, final game of the World Series, HOLY MOLY, what a game last night!!
If I get hungry later after a late lunch happy hour, I have some homemade jalapeno jelly which I wouldn't mind with some cream cheese and crackers for a snack. Not exactly low fat, but every now and then, they really taste good.
