I have finally recovered from last weekends school auction. For the third year, I did the food. Six parents came over last Saturday, and helped stuff tomatoes, cut baguettes, garnish, and put all the final touches on appetizers for about 200 people. The evening was a great success, with many compliments about the food. Here's what was served:
gazpacho shooters
artichoke dip
blue cheese stuffed cherry tomatoes
BLT bites
taco bites
tenderloin with herb cream spread
chicken salad
cornbread crostini
shrimp cocktail
goat cheese tarts with roasted peppers
Bourbon BBQ meatballs
Raspberry Tiramisu
banana split cheesecake
brownies
chocolate dipped strawberries
Everything was indidual portions, for a quick pick up and keep bidding situation. Grand total for cost $1100.00. And now I rest!

Lif'e Rough
Upon looking at his dinner plate last night, J said "Why do we always have to have good food? Why can't we ever just get something, like Chinese?"

If you want to be a Badger.........
Kindergarten Music Program
Don't you love a small town?
Today I took the car in for new brakes, you didn't want to hear the sound they were making! It was taking longer than expected, and I had to get to a doctor's appt. So the guy, whom I had never met before, who was working at a place I never had been before, threw me the keys to his own truck, and let me take it to the appt. Now that is customer service!

What I've Been Listening To
I got a lot accomplished yesterday, because I couldn't stop listening to The Sweet Potato Queens' Field Guide to Men: Every Man I Love is Either Married, Gay or Dead. I got two chandeliers sparkling, floors scrubbed, carpets vacuumed, spring decor put out, laundry washed, folded and put away. I am telling you, run to the library and get this book on CD!!! Jill Conner Browne, the author, reads it, in the most delicious southern accent. And, I laughed so hard, I almost wet my pants. Many times! And, the last chapter, I did wet the front of my shirt, because her description of a baby girl and her great grandfather was so sweet, tears poured down my face. I'm tearing up again just thinking about it! You will thank me, for giving you hours of enjoyment.
