La la la, gonna have a party!

[serene]

As is usually the case, as I near the party date, I pare down my menu so that I can have fun food *and* the time and energy to enjoy my company.

Here's what I ended up with for my snacky spread:

• several kinds of cheese with crackers and, if I can pull it off, fresh french bread
  
• veggies and hummus
  
• chili and chili bites -- it's not a theme, it just ended up that way :-)
  
• apples, pears, and asian pears with homemade caramel sauce and nutella
  
• toffee butter crunch
  
• eeyore_grrl's peanut-butter cookies
  
• lyrical1's best ever cookies.
  
• more cookies if I feel up to it -- I'm in a baking mood, and I love sending people home with cookies
  
• italian sodas (regular and sugar-free)
  
• foofy espresso drinks

I am feeling zero stress about this, even though I have a ton of stuff to do before tomorrow. I feel so happy and comfortable in my new home that even if y'all showed up on my doorstep tonight, before I've mopped and cleaned and put out fresh towels, I would just smile and show you in. Life is good.

We (some or all of the four members of the Califamily) may be able to drop in. Can we bring anything? We have a family commitment earlier in the day, but we might be free by mid-afternoon.

It would be great to meet you in 3D. I gather you're close to one of my favorite households, too. I love that neighborhood.

Yay, I would just love to meet you! Just bring yourselves (unless you want something other than what you see on the menu), and come any time, even if it's later in the evening -- I'll fix you something if the food's put away. :-)
