First, welcome to Susan!
I haven't been around much lately, but have been lurking for the occasional menu ideas.
The "entertaining bug" has bit me! A couple of weeks ago I had 2 couples for dinner on a Saturday then, on Sunday, another couple. You know, I've read that it's easier to entertain on back-to-back weeks since your home is clean and you're in "the mood", but I now don't believe it. That was tough, because I had to put away all of the stuff from the evening before, clean a little, and prep dinner for that evening.
Anyway, we left for almost 2 weeks to visit my family for Easter, then to the lake house to get some things done there (put away Christmas decorations because it has been that long!), and just returned yesterday.
As I get the recipes I used for these dinners typed and filed, because I am SO behind on paperwork, I will post. There were a couple of winners.
