Thursday Cris and I were up and back to mixing, cooking and baking for the big party. We must have assembled hundreds of little appetizers! He had quite a variety of food.
The party was suppose to start at 3pm, so shortly before we stopped work and changed into casual party clothes. The first guests, however, did not start arriving until after 4pm. Ten people in all showed up, out of the 35-40 invited, most of whom said they would come. I felt bad for Cris! Those of us at the party, however, ate very well and had some great wines! So it was their loss.. The last people left about 11pm. Once the guests were gone, off we went to bed. Clean up can wait!
Friday morning, no one got up early, lol. I was the first one up, so I reheated some coffee from the evening before and had a couple cookies. The others got up about an hour later and after coffee all around, we did finally clean up the dining room-kitchen area. We ended up throwing the rest of the food away. It had been sitting out too long. And as Cris pointed out, there was no place for it in the refrigerator. :-(
After we cleaned up, Cris drove me into town and we had lunch at "Wahoo", a local Denver restaurant. Pretty good actually. A fresh Tex-Mex type of place. After lunch, we went over to Kim's house. That's where I'm spending the night tonight. Cris, Kim, Dave (Kim's husband) and I talked about Cris and Kim's new business. They want to open a bakery and cafe. They have a building picked out, now all they need to find is financing and finish work on their business plan. A big undertaking for these two! After Crish left, Kim and I ran to the store for a few things, then came back to the house and made marshmallows. For New Year's Eve, Kim is making deep fried s'mores. She made her own marshmallows today and tomorrow she'll stuff them with chocolate, roll them into a ball, dip them in eggs, then roll them in crushed graham crackers. At that point these little confections get deep-fried. Sounds good to me!
We went out to dinner tonight. We were hoping to eat at Potager's but they were closed. Instead, we had dinner at Parallel 17. Kind of a French-Asian restaurant on 17th Street. The food was excellent! As was the company (Kim and Dave). We've spent the evening and almost until midnight talking about cooking and businesses. I've missed both Kim. And Cris!
Kim has three cats, and they decided at midnight, it was time for us to go to bed. The cats are pretty funny! I return to Reno tomorrow and meet up with Jordan in Las Vegas (he's returning from Phoenix, AZ). It's New Year's Eve tomorrow!
