Friends and family came over on Saturday to help celebrate ted_badger‘s 29th birthday. Other than a brief shower as I was grilling the chicken the weather was pretty great.
My biggest worry when having people over is that there won’t be enough food for everyone. This has led to chronic over-preparing of food for years of parties. I’ve been trying really hard to cut back on the gut reflex to double recipes for parties. It seems to be working out OK. Only the good lord knows where where the fear comes from.
Anywho, here’s the menu.
