getting in touch with my inner betty crocker.

Dinner party! I'm quite proud. It was kind of impromptu. We invited them three hours prior to when they came over, I added tons of milk and corn starch to my clam chowder, and started cleaning. Katie woke up from her nap to find three extra guys in our house. She stumbled into the living room, saying, "Woah! Our house is clean!" I coughed. "I mean... It's like this all the time!"

Left to right: Ryan, Orville (Jordan), Katie, Emily, Rob, Sylvia, and part of Kelly's hair.

Rob: "So, what kind of wine goes with clam chowder, red or white?"

Me: "Red."

Rob: "I'm on it."

Rob and Ryan showed up at our door with sparkling grape juice. ;o)

We tried to tell Katie to take it easy, but...

I must just be a natural, because they were delicious, ON THE FIRST TRY.

Hahahaha.
