Weekend busier than being at work. Thank goodness this is a four day week. If plans hold together, going with [profile] quickcasey to visit [profile] loriana and [personal profile] aerofox next weekend. Yay. Almost like a real vacation, sorta.

We had the dinner meeting. Gary got to talk to our friends that he's working with to create this map project. He made most of dinner, I did dessert and helped with the breads and that was all. It was really good: Moroccan chicken with couscous, two kinds of bread with Moroccan tomato salad and hummus, sweet and sour cabbage soup... All successful, lotsa dirty dishes. Thank goodness our dishwasher works. Dessert was Louisa May Alcott's apple slump, always successful.

Oh, and we cleaned the house some, decluttering and vacuuming, which is always a side effect of having visitors for dinner.

Successful weekend, overall, just not very restful.

I need to get myself a kitchen table sotted out. Then I can have people round for dinner too. :D

Yes, a table would probably be a good idea. ;p

My kitchen in general needs finishing off. Hope the meal with your own friends goes ok. :)

It was quite successful. I remembered to cut the sugar in the dessert by 50%, which is much better than the printed version of the recipe which has so much sugar you can't taste the apples. Gary's breads and Moroccan stew and salad are always good.

As far as I'm concerned, it's still on. I know! I'll write an e-mail. If I can drag myself off eBay.

I plan to arrive at your house about 8 am on Friday, give or take traffic issues. If that will do, we're good to go.

*hopes for some leftovers* That sounds nice indeed, it's been awhile since I've had couscous.
