A Few Good Days

The dinner party was actually pretty enjoyable. Even with 30+ invited, five folks didn't show up, so we had leftovers, but not too badly. Four beer-butt chickens with World Spice's smoky BBQ rub, four pounds of grilled asparagus, and five pounds of cross-cut short ribs marinated in teriyaki and grilled until just happily caramelized. The people invited brought along side dishes and desserts, so we had plenty to eat. I also roasted coffee for afterward, a very mild, nice Brazilian decaf that Sweet Maria's cheerfully sold me.

I love having a party where everyone is *comfortable* and enjoys the food.
