Day 103. Today was the big party. Well, it didn't turn out to be a big party. It was a medium sized party. There is a flu/cold going around so I had a few people drop out because they were sick. I had a few drop out because they double booked and just realized it. One had to work. Then I had a bunch of no shows.
I think it is rude to just "no show". How hard is it to send someone an email or text? My email is on the invite; so is my phone number. That is enough of that rant.
I didn't take any photos I realized at the end. The house looked great. Everyone commented on it. LOTS of decorations.
The food was almost all eaten. I made olive artichoke tapenade. The recipe made way more than I needed. The polenta fries with sauce was a huge hit. I could have made the second tube and they would have gone too. The chipolte rosemary almonds were also popular. There were only a few left and I gave them to the dog walker. The apricot infused with brandy and dipped in chocolate were loved. The popcorn didn't come out right. I think it needed to be cooked with oil. I did it in my glass cooker without oil. Then the spices would stick.
Overall the vegan food was a success. I just didn't tell anyone it was vegan food! They all raved about the food and how good it was.
People came and brought me bottles of wine. I don't drink so now I have great gifts and good wine to serve at the next party!
I have checked one thing off December's happiness project.
Until tomorrow...
