Ok so tonight I am cooking dinner for all my co-workers. Some are due to arrive in about an hour. It's cold and rainy. I worry about folks traveling to and from. I cannot imagine the ice roads some of you all are dealing with.
The cheese platter is ready. Just did 2 cheeses, brie and a nice cheddar. I have both grapes and crackers.
My mushrooms are stuffed, raviolis are made, chicken has been marinating since yesterday and I will grill that off at 4 and then hold it till dinner time. I'm very disappointed in my potatoes. They just would not pipe out. So I formed them in quinelles, drizzled olive oil over them and will bake them that way. The green beans are ready, took Jeans advice and have 2 pots of water on the stove already hot, but not boiling just need to crank up the heat. I made the sauce last night so it just needs to be warmed. Pears are poached will heat those up while we are enjoying dinner.
Lol if anyone other than us read this they'd faint or have a panic attack. And yet we all love it
