What Laura said, sj. Didn't you cook a bunch of other food? Seems to me, you succeeded. Plus, you did have a dessert and didn't make your guests do without! Cheesecake! You can send me some as I have neither brownies or cheesecake.
Fire bad. Tree pretty.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I know that it wasn't a total disaster. It was just the making them wait for the food that bothered me, and I was flustered when they walked through the door rather than pulled together and in control.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm sure they were charmed that you cared so much, sj, rather than being all perfect and blase (just imagine that accent mark there) about it.

There should always be some time before dinner to chat and relax

Finger food can always fill in if the wait is more than you feel comfortable with. I try to keep olives, cheese and crackers on hand for that reason.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
What life is like at our house in the small hours: We were watching School House Rocks vids on YouTube, then Daniel mocked Harvey by voicing the cat's supposed thoughts in the manner of a pepperpot woman; This was followed by a discussion of the medicinal properties of sugar free ice cream, and then plotting to sing "Conjunction Junction" at karaoke.
X-posty.

Our wings are not tired.
I am, Sox, but I wish I were not.
I hope the Melatonin kicks in soon.
