serenejournal!
Feb. 27th, 2006 03:44 amAnd thank you to all the other wonderful folks who came by on Saturday to help with the organizing of all our books for stonebender's birthday. Sorting and alphabetizing 8 plus bookcases is quite a job. And if that wasn't enough serenejournal cooked a wonderful feast which included slow cooked pork ribs in sauerkraut, lactose free clam chowder, roasted asparagus, a very tasty warm artichoke dip (and no I didn't think it had too much lemon!), caramelized onion quiche and baby peppers stuff with a cream cheese/olive or a cream cheese/tomato filling. Homemade cookies from cassidyrose and ptor plus some kumquats from their tree. And a Red Velvet cake from a bakery down the street - man that is one heavy and sweet cake! And someotherguy made a special treat for stonebender and I - bacon wrapped file mignon!
There was lots of fun conversation - esp. book related. Exactly how many books did Heinlein write after he died? And we actually got help with the reduction of the "take these books, please" pile. Okay, I mostly insisted everyone take at least one bag's worth on their way out the door.
Even thoughserenejournal did all the work (including a lot of book filing), I was exhausted by the end of the night and fell into bed. Sunday was a day of total slug-fest. Meals were leftovers. Activities included playing on the computer, watching a few old movies on tv and then popping in "Crash" to watch with dbubley. A much needed "do nothing" day.
