We gave the first
dinner party in our 500 square-foot casita. As you can see the living room and
dining room are the same.
I made roast chicken
in Blair’s big slow cooker. It was tender, juicy, and delicious. With the
chicken we had brown rice pilaf made with the saffron the kids brought back
from their honeymoon, minted peas, and cranberry sauce. We served it
buffet-style on the kitchen peninsula.
The occasion was a
send-off for Dennis, who is traveling.
A little wine was consumed. This morning I
found the wine cork hiding behind the fruit bowl. Hmmm. What if I stuck it on
one of the dangerous agave spikes?
Ten more bottles
of wine and I’ll have disarmed the tip of every leaf on our back-yard agave.
It won’t take long. Intergenerational living makes almost every dinner a party.
