Being domestic

Tomorrow Curt and I are having 4 bachelors over for dinner after church. Originally I had invited 2 couples but neither of them could come so I ended up inviting the guys. Anyway, this may not seem like a big deal to most of you because you probably get together with friends for dinner most Sabbaths but for me this is a major deal. I haven't entertained for...well, I can't really remember the last time I invited people over for dinner. As I was standing in the kitchen making the dessert, Curt walked in and stood looking at me and smiling. I asked him what he was smiling about and he said, "It's so nice seeing you be domestic". I felt a little ashamed because usually he is the one cooking and I realized that he appreciates it when I am the one in the kitchen for a change. I find that once I figure out the menu I enjoy making it but it is such a struggle for me to figure out what to make! I'm always afraid something won't turn out and the whole dinner will be a flop. But the table is set and the food is prepared and I'm hoping for an enjoyable Sabbath dinner.

    Curt, you're so sweet...

    How did it go? Sabbath afternoons are so much fun. I miss that day of company.

    I hope that it all went well. I'm sure it did. You are a very capable woman and you make any event at ease and enjoyable.

    Sabbath dinner was great! The manacotti got a little overdone but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. It was a fun time.
