the dinners................

Ok well dinner's went well i think. Big difference between saturday and sunday nights. Apart from the obvious difference that well saturday is saturday and sunday is a whole other day, and the fact that each night had different guests.... i noticed many things about people. The interesting point is that i already knew it, I actually had a conversation with a friend of mine and was very accurate at predicting the events of both evenings. I think i am very observant and a very good judge of character.
Saturday: Had ten people over for dinner, we had some platters of cheese, cabana dips and things like that, oh and olives. Then for main we had red pesto chicken fettucini with garlic bread and bruschetta. very yummy. I made this because its one of my hubbies fav's and it was his birthday during the week. desert was a lemon meringue pie. First time i have ever made it and i must say it was delicious and the meringue part was so fluffy and high. i was so nervous the crust would fall apart when i tried to take it out of the tin, but as it happened i was holding it in a rather flimsy way and turned around to tell my friend something and the next thing i knew the tin had fallen off and left the crust in tact.... problem solved. Dinner and desert went well, some laughs and some footy watching. The highlight of the night though had to be our two dogs coming out of their room to say hello to everyone and getting sooooo excited and weeing all over the lounge. Everyone thought it was hilerious(sic) and one guest got a cloth and wiped it up without it being a problem. all gone by 9.30

Sunday:
started with platters of brie cheese, salami, dips, olives, peppers stuffed with fetta and lots of other yummies. then for dinner we had seafood crepes oven baked with a red sauce served with bruschetta.
desert was not as good as the night before this time. the 'strawberry cheesecake' quickly became strawberry mousse, and most people were none the wiser. there was also fruit platter and chocolate biscuits. dinner over and all gone by 9.30pm.
now its wednesday and the house is still very clean lets see how long this lasts. the count is at 4 days... i think thats a record. he he he
