So far, so good

Pretty good long weekend so far. Got the house relatively livable before the Mom Food Dinner, which went off without a hitch. Dinner parties are so much easier when you're not attempting new and/or fancy foods; I can make my mom's food in my sleep by now, mostly, so there was absolutely no food-related stress, and I was just able to focus my energy on straightening up and then feeding my friends, who are of course, awesome. There were nine of us including my family, and I think that was a good number. Next week, pork chops.

And speaking of low stress levels, someotherguy made cleaning the house super-easy. (Translation: he did most of it while I took care of food stuff.)

The kid leaves for a week on Tuesday. I like her, but I think a break from each other will be good.

Oops, that's the potatoes boiling.someotherguy is making ribs for dinner and I said I'd make potato salad. See you later!
