J's friends came over today for Lunch.
They arrived over an hour EARLY-- I was still in my pj's having spent the morning making salads and side dishes and cleaning out the kids playroom while the kids totally trashed the living room. I then never even got a chance to clean up the living room before they troddled upstairs. Talk about bring totally caught out. Who the hell arrives an hour early (other than the PlL but I expect that from them at least now)
There were three families who came and we basically spent the whole day eating and drinking--our planned bbq was brought inside thanks to the eerie yellow hazy sky that blanketed Kanto today.
Pre-lunch we snacked on carrots/cucumber/paprika sticks, cheese, sun dried tomatoes and corn chops. Lunch was roast chicken, Italian sausages (chicken and apple, and habanero and cheese), roast potato and onion, green salad, Greek salad, Chinese cabbage salad, corn bread rolls from Costco. Post lunch was pizzas, followed by another round of cheese&biccies with grapes; soy-beans; mussels in garlic butter; popcorn...
We didn't get around to eating dessert until 6pm!
When everyone left at 8pm, my kids wanted more food--I managed to persuade them to eat up bread rolls and leftover chicken;)
Talk about a mammoth day. I had to sit on the sofa (as in could not move) for about 40mins around 2pm after having standing up all day, ouch, my back!!!
And while I am enjoying my cuppa to wind down now, another night of bloody baseball on TV is haunting me, haha. When will the World Series it whatever it is be over??
