Happy days!
Dec. 6th, 2008 05:10 pmI have a working oven again! Hurrah! I shall celebrate by throwing in a pizza for dinner.
My Sunday-after-Thanksgiving open house went off quite well, even in the absence of an oven. I'd been sent a gift of an orange-cranberry coffee cake, someone brought a chocolate bundt cake and I'd bought a double chocolate Boston creme pie, and someone else brought mandelbrodt, so we had baked goods well covered!
My discretion was well-tested, as among the guests were a couple to whose surprise 65th wedding anniversary party I went the next evening. Their daughters hosted it (though only one was able to attend, the other being in Massachusetts) at a local Italian restaurant, and it was a lovely event. Lots of good food and the company was excellent as well.
