guests for dinner... 14 of 'em!

Hosting a big dinner here tonight with 14 guests - plus Matt and the kiddos, so that's 18 total mouths to feed. (Lydia is a ringer for the "easiest to feed" award, while Julianna is a sure bet for "messiest".)

Don't worry, it's not steak and baked potatoes or anything fancy like that - our Asian friends usually don't even like that kind of stuff. The menu? Sloppy joes and my mom's famous baked beans. I cooked up a big batch of sloppy joes earlier this morning and popped it in the crock pot to keep warm. The baked beans are ready to for the oven too, so my work is almost done... until dish-washing time, that is!

We're enjoying a few quiet days post-Christmas.... leaving for Thailand three weeks from tomorrow so we'll be packing soon.

whew, i was getting worried about your blog after not seeing a post for a couple of days (or that maybe another earth quake had disrupted the internet). Glad you're back! We'll see you in about 2 weeks! : ) Can't wait!
