Friday Fling!

Coming to you a day late (it's Saturday...) so here's wishing you a HAPPY WEEKEND!

Unfortunately I had no time to post anything whatsoever yesterday. We'd invited people over for dinner (a friendly mixer ;D), so we were more or less stuck in the kitchen most of the day making tapas. Tapas for 8 people turned out to be surprisingly time-consuming (daaah) and it was quite hard work too, but it was sooo worth it 'cause the food turned out great (even if I say it myself)! I simply LOVE tapas, though I don't enjoy it often enough. Luckily we'd made more than enough food: fried scampi, albondigas, potato wedges, aioli, green salad, marinated mushrooms, tomato-mozarella-basil, yakitori skewers, olives... and Elisabeth brought yummy home-made foccacia (2 types!) - Thank you, thank you, thank you ... You're a darling!

And all the guests were so gracious, we (aka me) weren't quite ready when they arrived, but they all gave us a hand with the final preparations. Totally not expected, but I'm very thankful. Things definately went more smoothly. My only regret is not taking any photos (I completely forgot to do it), 'cause I really want to show you all how much fun we had! Next time...

Now, how to have a great evening. It's an easy equation:

Tidbits of everything on a plate

+ Great company

+ Entertaining conversation

+ Good wine

= a superb evening!

The rest of the weekend? You'll find me behind the desk at work ready to assist you! Have a great weekend, folks! And next Friday I'll be reporting from lovely, little Mandal!

P.S.

OPS, TWO FF's IN A ROW - NOT GOOD!

PROMISE TO POST SOME PHOTOS FROM MY TRIP TO FINLAND + A SHORT UPDATE VERY, VERY SOON!
