sorry, gentle reader. i was supposed to stick to a tues/thurs update schedule for the comic, but after the weekend we just had, i am simply drained of all creative output.
friday, we spent flailing around woodman’s (along with everyone else) getting food and booze for the party. we spent almost twice as much on the booze than the food. :x and where did woodman’s hide the canned pumpkin? i *always* make vegan pumpkin cheesecake and didn’t this year because i couldn’t find it. :/
we made a couple dishes on friday that were very simple… garlic knots, caprese salad on-a-stick, flour tortilla-green onion-creamcheese rollups, and stuffed baguettes.
saturday, we got up and proceeded to put together an enormous spread of awesome food. it was mandated that i not spend the entire party in the kitchen, as i am wont to do, so i was allotted 15 minutes in followed by 15 minutes out. fortunately, this was not strictly enforced. i didn’t stay in much after all the food was distributed across the patio anyway.
sunday was laze-around day. i don’t think we did a whole lot, other than bring in dishes and general straightening of things. we headed to mickey’s for a bday celebration and i was lauded by the previous day’s attendees. i was also scolded for raising the bar for any other host of a casual, backyard party ever in the future.
monday, i cleaned up the kitchen and we had an awesome dinner: tuna on the grill, salad, salsa from the garden, and little bruchettas.
this was a pretty epic weekend.
