Laura, that dinner sounds amazing!
Yeppers. Congrats! Now now that I've met TCG, I have an actual picture of both of you in my head.
Hopefully a good picture.
We're trying to get the house looking presentable for NYD. There's too much stuff.
It's all about the coat.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Mmm Laura, that dinner sounds amazing. Lucky you, lucky Pix, and lucky ND.
I can't imagine grilling tonight. It is wet wet wet outside.

That sounds delightful, Laura (the menu and the company). I'll be hitting a bar and a restaurant with amyth and some mutual buds tonight.
I picked up a cookbook from a local Persian restaurant, which led to wandering around a Persian grocery for exotic (to me) ingredients like pomegranate syrup, saffron, and tahini. We'll see if I can turn these into food in my kitchen at some point.

Our wings are not tired.
Yum, Calli. I love trying new recipes.

Cool. I'd recommend the Food of Life cookbook if you get further interested in Persian cuisine.

Mom gave us this tagine link for Christmas. It came with a teeny tiny recipe book, but I need to find a larger book on either Moroccan cuisine or a book specifically about using a tagine to cook.

Thanks, SuziQ. I adore Sage's osh, so that'll be my first thing to try.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I think house guests are done. The closet is constructed. Just needs painting, which I'll do on a warmer day when I can open windows for fresh air. Fridge has been leveled (it was a little off kilter, and closing rapidly on you. Most annoying). And the washer dryer leveled too. Now, it's time to relax. Which is good, my spoons were running low.
Laura, you are in most excellent company. And I envy the meal y'all are eating. YUM!
