My flat is spotless! I vacuumed, I cleaned, and everything is put away (oh except for that bag of ironing I have to do sometime). And I imagine you are now asking yourself " to what do we owe this amazing occurance?". Well I'm having a dinner party. Not your typical Nat dinner party with 12 ppl, 6 courses and 19 bottles of wine. No this is a testing the water type dinner party. A Sunday roast, 2 simple courses , 1 bottle of wine (but I'm hoping the guests bring more ;) and 3 guests. I have 5 chairs, but the table really only fits 4, and the oven is minature (think microwave) and a chicken divides nicely by 4. Oh and I invited an additional person and she turned me down (well she had a family thing). And I'm short of friends, well friends that I'd want to invite over to my house anyway ;)
So whos coming? Amy, Amy's bf - Jeff, and Kitty. (This is the same group I spent last sunday with, if you guys are keeping up.)
I'm making rotisserie chicken, mash potato, and if I can find some decent mangos, a green salad with mango and balsamic dressing - yummo. Oh and dessert (if i can find a couple more granny smith apples) is apple crumble. Should be yummo if I can find the ingredients. At the moment I am short mangos, lettuce, herbs, granny smith and a chicken. I went to the cheap supermarket yesterday and they were short quite a few things. So after my shower I'm off to the markets to pick up the veg, and then the expensive supermarket to pick up granny smith and chicken. (I'm not quite at the point of eating local chickens - given avian flu and all that...)
I've spent all wkend in my flat trying to tidy up, with little visits to the store to buy stuff i needed. I really need a shoe rack, but I have yet to find one. Maybe today. Oh and last night made myself a super yummy spaghetti and meatballs (yummo) and watched a disney movie "eight below". About this rescue dogs in Antartica, It wasn't on my list of movies to watch but a girl at work leant it to me. It was actually really good. Seriously. And yes I'm terribly hormonal at the moment, so I was exceptionally teary over these lost dogs - but still... Yep another exciting saturday night for ms bell....
