Recaps

I've been tardy recapping previous weekends. While it doesn't bother me that I can't recall if a particular recipe went over well, it does bother me that I did not get a chance to thank our guests.  So here's a quick recap of our guests over the past few weeks.  My digital camera was stolen, and our analog camera takes months from taking the picture to getting a print, so these will be sans-photo!

Starting again

I just received my new laptop.  Its been two weeks since my old laptop was stolen.  The mourning lasted about 10 days.  Now with my new laptop, I can start again! This weekend is going to be busy.  We have a young couple (no kids) eating with us this evening.   It should be a nice quiet dinner (as quiet as it gets here). The Kav L'chayim organization is doing a weekend in our community and we are hosting two pairs. Each pair is a patient and his or her helper.    They are having a group dinner tonight.  Tomorrow lunch, we will host our two pairs plus an additional two helpers.    As happens often in our community, one of our good friends is traveling this weekend.  We will be hosting her family of 5 for lunch!
