Dinner guests

November 29, 2012
My little brother, Kurtis, and his squeeze (I don't get if they are boy/girlfriend again or what) Jenessa, came down for dinner yesterday.

Of course they did have ulterior motives for the visit. We were tasked with getting them safely to and from a concert Downtown of some band I've never heard of. Yellow card? Yellow fin? Yellow something?

Well, since I scrambled to get groceries at 11 p.m. the night before, stayed up late, worked all day, took the kids to the dentist, and had to rush home and make a fruit pizza for Young Women in Excellence and get there early to set up AND make dinner for my family and guests, it was kind of a fend for yourself menu. Make-your-own-pita-pizzas to be exact. Impressive I know. But I did make a salad and popped in some frozen garlic bread in the oven.

It was more of a wish-I-could-make-a-gourmet-meal-to-impress-my-brother-and-Jenessa, but let's keep it real around here kind of evening. The kitchen was a disaster, both sides of the sink filled with mixing bowls, half cut fruit, spoons, baking sheet pans, mixers, and two melted Ziplock bags with white chocolate in them from my fruit pizza finishing touches disaster.

Needless to say, my guests left happy and full. And they got to their concert safely and on time.

I'd say my "dinner party" was a success!
