I was just thinking, “I love today!” Those were my actual thought words. My friends were coming to dinner and to play games after. Super! I was enjoying cooking for them, I love playing games (as long as I understand the game – not always a given,) the weather was beautiful, and everything was lovely. With this thought in my head, and feeling happy and invincible, I spilled my cup of tea on my foot. Being momentarily quite buoyant, I quickly recovered my happy spirits. However, I feared that it might be an omen. It wasn’t. Not really.
When Becca is cooking for guests, her dinners are always complex. She makes a little list of all the dishes she is prepariang, and puts it on the refrigerator for easy reference. I thought that since my dinner was so basic and simple, this would be an excess of caution. So no note. I could easily remember it all.
Later, after my guests left, and I was cleaning up, I went into my pantry and saw the bread that I had forgotten to serve still sitting there, glaring at me balefully. As I was putting the remainder of the beet salad into a container, the feta which I had gotten especially for it and that I had forgotten to put on it whined, “What about me?”
Oh well, I had a fun time, and I hope my guests did too. I got to see Corinna’s new Ipad and Maria’s new retro photo phone app. She took a sample picture of our cards for you.

Sounds like a great day to me! What's a few missing items on the menu and a small tea mishap compared to the joy of a great evening with friends:)?
The beet salad is beautiful & minus the feta would be just right with me! Glad your tea wasn't too hot. retro photo app-what will they think of next. Very neat picture.
Sounds like a great evening. What did you play? And beet root salad, mmh, I love it. My recipe is very simple (hardly a chance to forget an ingredient):
make a vinaigrette using a nutty oil (Argan e. g.)
freshly ground ginger
cooked beet roots, sliced
Mix well, eat warm.
