…eat your heart out!
Okay, well, maybe Martha would do better. Actually, I’m sure she would, but every once in a while I surprise myself in a moment of rare domestic goddessness. Yesterday was one of them. The DH was out of town for the weekend and I invited a couple of the girls over for Sunday brunch. Mimosas, eggs sardou, fresh fruit (melon, pineapple, and strawberries, pear/walnut/gorgonzola salad over mixed baby greens, cranberry muffins, and molten chocolate babycakes. Yes, all of the above prepared by yours truly. The house was sort of clean and cleaned up. White linen napkins tied with fresh ivy cut from the backyard. I even put together a lovely floral arrangement from my yard. Kwanzan cherry blooms, dogwood and spirea.
Whew! I think that’ll do me on the domesticated goddess front for several months.:thankyou:
Very impressive. Can we call you Mini-Martha?

Andrea, LOL, I don’t know about mini-Martha. I might feel compelled to make soup turreens out of squash or something. :fryingpan:
Kimberly, I’m impressed that you’re impressed because I’m pretty sure you don’t impress easily. :mrgreen:
Thanks, Barbara. :wave:
Ginger, we did get a little rain — quite refreshing. And it knocked down some of the pollen.

Come on over Kim– I’ll set a place at the table for you. :lol:
Kris and Marilyn, you can see that it happens so seldom I have to blog about it. :happy2: Tonight we’re back to the same old same old standby — spaghetti, the sauce out of a jar (hey, that’s the kind the DH likes).

I could make fancy stuff, but spaghetti sauce out of the jar, hamburgers and chili dogs are what make a big sensation at my house. Guess it comes from having a DB that eats like a kid. Easier on me, I suppose…

Andrea, my DH wouldn’t touch any of that brunch food with a ten-foot pole…except maybe the molten chocolate babycake. Oh, no. Prego spaghetti sauce, weinies cut up in canned baked beans and Kraft mac’n cheese are his faves. I used to make homemade mac-n cheese. He prefers the boxed. The more processed, the happier he is. :doh:
