G'day, folks.
Sharon/WO, the surprise 25th anniversary sounds like fun. It's the silver anniversary - anything silver would be a good gift. You could have fun with that idea. A silver photo frame with a wedding photo and a 25 years later photo might be nice too.
TM, I hope your pool party goes off well. Make a big splash!
Linda, enjoy the cooler weather. I hope husband gets the fire set up for you.
Sharon/LDM, good luck with the zombie party. The movie project should be a lot of fun.
We had an interesting and busy day. There was a promotional home show this weekend in our area, I persuaded husband to take me. We brought mother in law with us; after the really cold day yesterday (and more of the same today) she wanted the chance to get out and about. difficult child 3 came as well.
Before we left, difficult child 3 & I used his Nintendo DS Cooking Guide to make a big batch of Hungarian goulash. The recipe asked for 12 tablespoons of paprika - it was far too much, even for 3 pounds of beef. Most people liked it (especially after I played with it to salvage it) but difficult child 3 found the flavours just too strong. We're going to have to make it again, and modify the recipe. I checked online - there is a BIG fault iin the programming, I think.
But it is great to involve difficult child 3 in cooking like this. He's really enjoying cooking new things, even though it's challenging for him.
The Cooking Guide isn't available in the US yet, husband told me today. I'm surprised - we're usually the last to get something new like this.
After we got back, I sat with difficult child 1 and girlfriend to finalise the design of the wedding invitation stuff. At this stage it looks like we'll have them ready and back from the printer maybe as early as Monday.
Enjoy your Saturday.
