sometimes the moon and stars just don't line-up...i am having a few folks over for a pot luck tonight and as the hours get closer the folks get fewer and fewer - and by no one's fault. someone's mom came to town, another in in calgary and is gonna be sitting in the cold watching a hockey game, sickness has claimed another, conflicting plans claiming two others - there's gonna be a lot of food here tonight for a handful of folks. i almost feel like sending out some 'care' packages to those who can't come and enjoy the great garvie coconut cake and fancy mac and cheese - dean and deluca style. and some of my new recipe green chili beef stew. on the positive side - i'll have lots of food for the week ahead when i come home from work.ailsa's cake that will be topped with a nice icing and coconut!
yesterday ailsa and went for a nice - if windy and cold - walk around kits point and then decided as the wind picked up that looking at shoes on west fourth, where were also ran into 'he who can not be named on the blog' in the capers courtyard, was a better idea. after a coffee with him we all walked down to granville island and had a visit with mishi and then garvie and i went to the market - not busy at all on a beautiful saturday afternoon - and got all the goods for our dinner last night and the stuff for tonight's meals.
bomber hockey was good last night, a little late, but good. blair and i have taken to a tradition of having a beer before the game and since we've adopted that little goodness we've been undefeated - lots of ties but still, undefeated. why mess with a good thing.
today is prep and cleaning and other domestic duties before the folks get here. good times.
have fun today.
