So then, a new week is upon us. This week’s challenge is events-based, or to put it another way, reactionary and defensive. The events in question are having eight guests for dinner tomorrow night, which will necessitate a vasty list of things to do in order to ensure the food does not make them hurl, or that if it does they at least have a sparkling throom to hurl in; and a fancy-dress birthday party of an eight-year-old girl, which will involve cobbling together some manner of costume for the snortlepig. The party being Wednesday, I suppose I could slob around for the rest of the week, but I had better get on with my article for Mindfood before the editor finds my blog and issues a restraining order.
Anyhoo. List. Tomorrow I gotta:
- Vacuum
- Make butterscotch smeg
- Buy eggs
- Make punkin bread
- Make punkin-tomato-and-carrot soup
- Make chicken casserole
- Make wee chocolate swirls to go on the butterscotch smeg
- Clear off the kitchen table and move it sideways
- Clean the throom
- Run dishwasher before people arrive in order to ensure maximum number of clean dishes
- Make tiny tarts of some variety
- Dress snortlepig in psychedelic purple jackin
