Birthday Weekend
Nov. 27th, 2006 10:34 amIt's been a rough-and-tumble weekend, filled with laughter and tears and birthday wishes all around. I spent Friday preparing, shoppping, and cooking for nine people that night. I'm not a bad cook, but the hard part for me is the timing of everything.
To be able to cook the stuff in such a way that the noodles, the chicken, the salad, and the sauce are all ready at the same time, it's such a mystery. Forunately, it was only the rice noodles that did not go according to plan, and anyways, I made too much of the stuff.
Fortunately, the meal seemed to go over well, so it was a red-letter day.
On Saturday, I was called in to do some shift work at Melange. It was fun to go back behind the counter and the day rolled by relatively without incident. On Saturday night, we went to see our friends in a choir concert, followed by a delectable meat feast at the Keg.
On Sunday, we had the Pagan Sunday Brunch at Chez Dustys. It was an unusually low-turn out (6 people), so I think I need to push the event a bit more on the elists and maybe at the Yule Fair next Saturday.
Sunday afternoon, after helping Dave renovated the MPRC, a group of us rehearsed the ritual that we'll be putting on at the Yule Fair. We'll be re-enacting the battle between the Holly King and the Oak King, and the two guys who are involved in the battle will be doing it in French! So cool.
After that, I grabbed a couple of folks (Karyn and John) and headed to Hurley's to meet with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
