My family just left. Wow. After church this morning, I brought Liz and Albert back to my apartment to start cooking. We made (in served order):
Carrot Humus (because we ended up with WAAYY too many chickpeas)
Brushetta & crackers
cheese & crackers
carrots & dip
Cheddar Bay Biscuits
White Chili (which was pretty awesome)
Dark Chocolate Fondue (with TONS of strawberries, and other fruits)
Easy Lemon Pudding Cake (which Albert made and was extra lemony this time)
And now I am STUFFED. We invited everyone (Mom, Dad, and Aunt Karin) for 3pm, but they didn't show 'til 3:20 (fashionably late for your own party?!?!? ANNOYING! :-P). We served the appetizers and then had dinner around 4:30. The Biscuits (which are pretty damn close to the ones they serve at red lobster) were throughly enjoyed as was the chili (which was pretty damn good if I do say so myself).
Mom was glad that I (finally) invited them over for dinner and a lot of fun was had by all. I just got off the phone with Mike and invited him over for leftovers. :-) Less for me to put away! :-P
