AHH..
i feel dead.. i think its mon blues...
and the fact that jan had her birthday party yesterday and stressed me out by inviting the super cooks of OCF over for dinner.

Thats right, yours truly.. chief cook for the evening! haha
I felt like i was on Iron Chef.. with 2 assistants.. (BIG thanks to sue and vicky!!) who helped with the chopping.. mixing and frying.. and me being all bossy barking orders and being incredibly stressedout.

But it all went well.. had chicken and mushoom risotto (note: NEVER EVER cooking risotto for parties again. way too long and too much effort. but so yums) shepherd's pie.. pasta.. chicken wings.. caesar salad.. roast lamb with mint and red wine on a bed of veges.. tiny little appetisers stuff with smoked salmon.

Was so scared there wasn;t going to be enough food because of the number of guys.. but in the end.. over cooked so much we had to give food away in order to close the fridge door. ha.

Well compliments for the night included " You're going to make a gd wife ah!" and " You are coming to wangaratta next week to cook for me right?" (frm a doc on country rotations).. phew. at least it was edible. By the end of cooking.. i had NO idea what i was putting into the food.. multi tasking between frying, stirring and baking...

Jan, i hope u are happy. I nearly died frm exhaustion. Esp with all the cleaning up. Flo.. if u are reading this.. yes, i am maid of the hse now. oh. Happy 23rd birthday!!
