Gah! I just found out we're having a dinner party for 35 people next Thursday. I have 12 dinner plates. Unless I break out the china, but it's supposed to be a casual buffet thing. The DH has promised New Mexican food to people, and I just don't see serving green chile off of china.
Gah. At least I have a week to prepare. Can you make salsa fresca without cilantro?
I still own the old SPI game. I remember enjoying it quite a bit.
I remember getting my butt kicked at it a lot.
(ETA: probably because I almost always played Sauron...but this was one of the few "little cardboard squares" games that I would voluntarily play)
I'm another who played the old SPI game back in the day.
Use the china. It never gets used. It's good for it to get used.
It never gets used. It's good for it to get used.
True. The last time it was used was, um, 1995? Crikey. I guess I will be breaking out the china and silver, as otherwise it's paper and plastic, and I don't think paper plates will stand up to the food. I hope it doesn't make the guests uncomfortable.
I can't imagine uncomfortable guests with Raquel as host. China will be lovely.
It's Friday!!
I painted my fingernails blue last night and they are making me sillily happy. Also? warm weather today! We are supposed to get up to 77. WOO! to the HOO, I might add.
At least it's all ABCs. Green chile doesn't appeal to Greeks at all. Here's the menu so far:
Margaritas
Chips, salsa, guacamole
Tortilla rollups
Green Chile and Sour Cream Enchiladas
Big Pot of Chili (tm)
Watermelon, Tomato, and Feta salad
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
The salad's a Greek shout-out, and while the cheesecake doesn't scream New Mexican, the recipe's from Santacafe, so it counts. Now I need a side dish.
Green chile doesn't appeal to Greeks at all.
Hrrmph. And they say they invented civilization.
Oh, yum. Too bad you can't borrow my Fiestaware, Raquel. I've got it all boxed up, but I don't think I can get it to Greece by Thursday.
