Master Chef
Well, here goes, my one blowout of the year. I can't believe I used to do this several times a year. Then went to twice a year. Then my husband got attacked by a wasps nest preparing for the summer party and was told to never get stung by anything bigger than a mosquito ever again, so summer party went tango uniform. It is funny, we always get to this point. If everyone shows up who RSVPd, we may have 75. That'll be a record. I joke with hubby, if 20 say they'll come, 40 show, if 80 say they'll come, 40 show. Last year they amazed me, we had a horrid ice storm, and 45 people still braved the weather and our lousy road. I use the party as a drive for our local food bank, and am a big believer in potluck. Still, 70? Que sera, sera! I made twice the Cincinatti chili that I usually make, bought twice the booze. Am I prepared? We'll see.
