Oh What a Sunday
Despite a bout with some sort of mysterious illness Coko decides to forge ahead with her plans for a lovely dinner birthday soiree. I (being the kind, generous soul that I am -- okay, in reality I just like to have ppl come over) offer up my humble abode for the partay.
3:00 pm : Mass cleaning episode where people who are not even attending the party are forced to vacuum my apartment / Preparation begins for the making of an apple-butternet squash casserole.
3:30pm : E calls and asks 'Who's making the roast?' 'Uhhhh, you are' I tell E. E decides to call Coko.
4 pm : I run down to Save-on-Foods (yes, I literally ran) to pick up my newly acquired squash. Did you know that Mr. Lunt (cf. Veggie Tales) is a butternut squash?!
4:30pm : I am about to put the casserole (which my lovely sister has prepared) in the oven when my phone rings. It is Coko asking if she can come cook a roast in my oven. I reply 'Uh, I'm making the casserole you requested..?'. Coko says she will get back to me.
4:40pm : Gandalf comes over to make smoking strawberries on my stove. There is a brief incident involving sugar that smells like salsa.
5 pm : I am excited when I realise Bring It On is on TV. We tune in just in time to catch SPIRIT FINGERS.
5:15pm : Coko and E arrive with a raw roast in tow. The cooking adventure begins.
time unknown: Gandalf shocks stonejewel with a demonstration of his dancing prowess a la Bring It On.
*time elapses during which roast fiascos occur: cooked, not cooked, microwaved, too cooked, undercooked, microwaved etc etc.*
Suffice it to say Bring it On, 80s music, cold food, crazy candles and Beauty and the Beast set the theme for the evening. Parties with Coko are ALWAYS fun! For more eloquent descriptions of the evening click the links!
