Hey, I just realized that I finally got 100 posts on my blog!
Even better than that, though, is the fact that today I had my first good friday with my grade ones. I was so happy by the end of the day that we'd made it through and that I was able to drive home without wanting to cry or drive my car into the ditch...just kidding. But it was a really great day. The library was the best part. Usually, they are sooo bad in the library that some of them have been threatened with being banned from coming back. But, today, I read them a story and they all say quietly on the carpet and listened! It was amazing, especially considering that it was a Friday afternoon.
So, now I get to be stressed out and busy this evening, preparing for my first dinner party tomorrow, with the gang from our bible study. I'm making a pretty elaborate menu of different appetizers I've been wanting to try. I tried to make them all semi-Italian so that they go well together. Let's just say I bought a lot of cheese.
First, there is cranberry and raspberry punch. Then, there is dill and three onion dip with veggies, bread and a brie/havarti tray, cambozola and grape canapes, spinach and artichoke dip with pita chips, sicilian meatballs, mandarin apricot chicken wings, mushroom caps, mushroom and cheese pastry bundles, spicy yam fries, italian chick pea salad, and apple, celery, grape salad. Hopefully it will be good. For dessert I made cherry mini-cakes, truffle brownies with ganache icing, and lemon squares.
Okay, really, it's not all made yet. Which is why I should stop typing and start cooking!

My mouth is watering, and it's 2:10am. I'm not even hungry and I want to eat your food!
If and when I come back to Canada, I say we start a catering/party business. Deal?
Love you honey. I'll try calling this weekend -- I'm eight hours ahead of you. Maybe tomorrow, during your am!

Sounds good, or else I can try calling after church if I miss you when you call me!
A catering business sounds great--we already know that we can produce yummy baked goods in a tiny kitchen!
My goodness Sabrina, that's one heck of an ambitious dinner party. The food sounds so yummy! I may have to get off the internets to get myself something to eat now.
We miss you guys!
