Ack!

I ran into one of the Rangers at the restaurant last night...... he is one of the fellows who is coming for dinner tonight.... and he just happened to mention that this was his weekend to have his kids (he's divorced) so his three kids are coming for dinner too.  Ack!

First of all my roast is too small for nine people. So I'm in the process of defrosting two chickens in the microwave. I wonder if they will thaw in time to cook them.... I'm giving up on the roast idea and will cook that for us some other time.  For all you city folks who can run out to the store and buy another roast..... yeah, well... you can't do that here... no stores are open on Sunday or Saturday evening either for that matter. So chicken it will be.

Now that I know that there will be three extra mouths to feed I'm starting to think I had better start early getting the cooking done.  I also know that those kids have severe allergies to all dust and animals. Ack! How am I going to make this house dust and cat hair free? I'm doomed... : (

I'm off to a Eucharist service at church in a little while...  hope the chickens are thawed by the time I get back. One nice thing about it all is I don't have to make Yorkshire pudding now.

I'd better go make the pie though.... Ack!... I think I'm going to need two pies.

Can you tell that I don't normally cook for this many.....

Oh well, I'm sure it will turn out all right.... now, I'd better start peeling apples. Yup, apple crumble pies sounds just about right.....
