It’s Time for a House Warming!

I got tired of waiting for the living room carpet to show up.  (They’re now saying some time in May.)  So decided to schedule my house warming for yesterday.  It’s one way to ensure that all the last minute things that have been hanging on actually get done.  So here is the house ready for guest – except for putting the food out.

 

Not showing the office as that is the room I usually “clean” last and that didn’t get done.

Party results:  invited a dozen people.  Two showed up.  Fortunately for me, I always stick with food I know I will enjoy afterwards.  This morning I’ll work on the raspberries.   (Then blackberries, although I may have to soak them in brandy and put over ice cream which I do not yet have.  They are rather bitter.  Then strawberries.)

Lunch will be cheese – bleu, cheddar, and a tiny bit of brie – with water biscuits.  Anchovy spread – no one ever likes that except me! – with Triscuits.  For sweets, there are chocolate biscuits, shortbread rounds, and peanut M&Ms.  And pistachios for snacking.  Surely won’t starve!
