We had our 'Going Away Party' for our good friend! He has so many friends who love him, and since he's moving to BC, we had him invite who he wanted, and we provided the party!
There was a lot of food, totally non-healthy, but still necessary to make it be real party food!
Chicken wings; cheesy toasty things; cheesy, olivey, toasty things; bacony cheesy Melba toast things; several other appetizers and some (clean out the liquor cabinet) Punch...with lotsa ice and frozen strawberries to keep it even colder.
People were kind and thanked us profusely! Even though they had to step around Chipper the Great in the middle of the kitchen for the duration of the party!
Went to bed at 12:30 AM Sunday morning from pure loss of adrenalin! I had a few glasses of punch, but they weren't as scary as I thought they'd be!
Next morning I was so happy it was only 8 AM until I realized it was actually 9 with the time change! Found party recipient friend and my husband Ken at the bottom of the stairs with drinks in hand, still awake and chatting quite animatedly, (or as Ken says 'chin wagging') about whether they looked at a glass half-empty or half-full.
Later, the weather outside was so wonderful, we headed outside and sat around the remaining fire all over again.....
Our friend had been a bit concerned about an old girlfriend and a new girlfriend showing up at the party the night before, so, ironically, he invited them both to our backyard after they phoned him (one right after the other) yesterday. What fun we still had, and a few Caesars were mixed and handed out with what little bit of food was left over. I still can't fathom someone staying awake for two full days!
I have to say it's the first time in my life I cleaned up the kitchen a day after the day after the party! Maybe we can live for a month from the proceeds of the bottle returns!
