Last night, I had a dinner party happening at Azerbaijan. I think I’ve only had one other dinner party all year, so thought it might be good time to have another one :S There’s been so much going on this year, I just haven’t had the motivation to make the effort and have people over. Maybe part of that is cos my favourite Dinner Monkey left town and I’ve not had the energy to try and break in a new one.
Anyway, I spent Friday afternoon as usual getting ready for everyone coming over – grocery shopping and tidying the house a bit, when you wouldn’t believe what happened… for the first time ever, I had nearly half our party cancel on us! In the hours preceeding dinner, our group went from 12 to 7. What a bugger! We’ll be eating leftovers for the next week! We had a great time anyway, six or seven is a pretty good number for mostly having one conversation at the table, so it was all good. I got to give HdM his damn passionfruit fudge, which means I now feel totally vindicated in continuing to harangue him about consuming all my damned Bourbon!
BTW – LuckyPhil if you’re reading this – BigSal was disappointed not to get a chance to get to know you better! So you’re not getting out of it that easy – we’ll have to reschedule!
Mr K, HdM and myself ended up staying up late, drinking and talking until about 2.30am which would have been fine except that I was woken rudely by back pain at about 6.30am! Grrrrr…. need more sleep!
