I don’t really need a reason to have a party. If there is not a holiday or significant reason, I’ll create something. I love to entertain and I love to cook and feed people. My Australian “brother” (long story) says “she’s a feeder” and he is absolutely right. π
I am having another get-together this weekend, for about 15-20 people. The reason … Well, there really isn’t one, other than I just wanted to do something special for my neighbors, Hanaa and Aziz, who are always so thoughtful and helpful.
I think you can probably tell by my cookbooks, what kind of party I am hosting this time. π

All of these books have FABULOUS recipes and ideas, but for this particular party, I am making everything from these two books only. My menu is already planned, and my shopping list is made. I have even started preparing some things that can be prepared in advance. But you will have to wait just a little bit longer to see what exotic delicacies will be served. A little anticipation is a good thing. π

There will be plenty more opportunities to use the other books. Larry always says there is not enough time for me to cook everything from all the cookbooks I already have, but I am doing my best to prove him wrong. The only problem with this is that, you NEVER have your last cookbook. There is always another one that captures your attention, that you just have to have. π
Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
How fun! I can’t wait to see your pictures and I’m sure Hanaa and Aziz are going to love and be touched by whatever you have on the menu Jeanne!π

We are all so excited! Being that Tamura and her Mom are Armenian, and Italian (Sicilian), it should be a great evening of discussions. Warning, Tamura’s Mom Barbara can talk your ear off! Tamura and I won’t. We’ll be too busy eating!

Yes, it is. Be here by about 6:00 PM, and enjoy all the festivities. π I agree about cookbooks. You can never have too many, although Larry disagrees with this philosophy. π
