"Lurker's" ... Gather here :)

[daleron]

I'm in Lurker mode tonight
MIL's company comes tomorrow so we are as done as we can get. Now I have to get my house in better shape At least it's only the basic cleaning here. Dusting, vacuum, wash floors, bathrooms etc... We are hosting dinners here Friday and Sunday. Going out to eat Thursday and Saturday.

So.... Friday I'm making lasagna. I'm doing garlic bread knots with it....what else should I have? I'm not good at entertaining

Salad???

No Spoilers. You'll have to wait and see.

Hehehe! Ok!
Was worried you might've gotten blown away

I hope you're getting some rest sweetie! You've been moving & shaking like crazy this week.

Hummm...when I make lasagna I like a nice salad. I really don't do much else aside from that with lasagna.
As for dessert...a nice lemon pound cake sounds good to me with some vanilla ice cream. Simple...but delicious.

Salad???

Neither MIL nor Hubby likes salad. Hmmm I could get one of those salad in a bag things.... Ranch dressing and a vinegarette dressing?

Lots of Wine!!! With lots of wine, they won't care what else you serve.

It's Entertaining 101.

Entertaining on a budget:

Buy a box or 3 of Franzia and refill old wine bottles.

Rest? What's that? oh crap! I forgot about dessert! I like the pound cake idea.....

Red? Neither hubby nor I are wine drinkers so no clue if white or red are appropriate with lasagna. I have three bottles of red that people have given us. They've been stored in a wine rack so they should be ok. They are, at most, a year old.

What about burgers & brats?? Mac & Cheese, Potato Salad, or cheesy hashbrown casserole, Chips....etc. That's always easy.

Or steaks....or roasted chicken & veggies....(what am I saying...we NEVER entertain...)


Yea (again) Chim on your Vapaversary, and your new mod!!

Howdy Lis!!

Good evening EVERYONE!! Wow, there have been LOTS of visitors to the new Lurker home today!!

Dale, you know you are always in my prayers, and I will send up a special one tonight!!

Dale,

I wonder if you should request that the old Lurking?? site may be closed, by notifying a Mod that it's been moved here. Robin posted a link here, but you could request that the Mod post another in the final post/notice.

I was mostly playing, but wine, much like lovely ladies as yourself, gets better with age. A year old should be very nice. From what I know, Red goes with Meat.

This site seems to agree that Red and Lasagna would be OK, but you can check this with what type you have.

well I hope you're able to get some rest after the weekend is over.

You guys don't like salad
Try looking into something like a tomato basil salad if lettuce is the issue. I haven't had one in a while but they're really good. Plus it's light so it won't ruin dinner or dessert. If you think you're going to do a bagged salad I'd still maybe grab some tomatoes, cucumbers & croutons as a option for your other guests.
