The Cheese was good

I think I have recovered from the weekend, now, so here's how it went.

Rita and Meredith arrived on Thursday and they, along with Jfer, did much needed wedding stuff. I'm so glad that Meredith is involved in this - she has the determination and focus of a drill sergeant and gets things done (of course, anyone has more determination and focus than either Jennifer or me).

Jennifer and I had planned a dinner for friends several weeks ago, and I was a bit afraid we wouldn't be able to do all our hosting duties. As it turned out, only Kat and Steve were able to make it, so we had a nice party of six for dinner. I almost was late for dinner, since the deli counter at Central Market took way longer than it needed to (no, there was no line at all, but I managed to get a very, very slow deli person). However, for the first time, I think, I managed to get the right amount of potatoes and cheese! For future reference, if you're making Raclette, count on 1/2 lb of potatoes and 1/3 lb of cheese a person. And make sure you have enough pickled things.

I think everyone enjoyed the dinner. And it was so great to see Kat and Steve again - just as Cecily told me, "they glow" :-)
