I only have 2 bottles of throw-away wine – thought I had more! So if you have a box or jug you want to kill, please bring it over. I can use some better stuff if need be – just makes the Sangria better, arguably, but if you have some cheapo stuff you want to dump, please bring it. (classy party huh?) For fruit I got a pineapple, Valencia oranges (because it’s sangria), strawberries, one nectarine and a cantaloupe. I have Tito’s, dark rum, and brandy here at the house FYI. Also have OJ concentrate if you need OJ.
I have now ended up making (because I am genetically unable to leave well enough along):
tabouli
deviled eggs (better than Easter, I swear – those were awful)
baba ganouj
grape salad (kind of like waldorf)
… and I have two packs of pita bread.
and I got some kalamata olives and a block of feta cheese which I will cut up for snacking.
Oh, and chocolate raspberry truffle cake from CM.
I think that’s it.
Nope, also stuffed grape leaves (from a can – I’m not idiot enough to try to make that myself)
It occurs to me that I am celebrating the completion of my Mexican tile backsplash with a Mediterranean feast and brisket. Am I always this discordant, or is it the pregnancy, I wonder?
See you soon! Can’t wait!
PS – Barney’s here, but he’s leaving tonight evidently so if we want to stay up late we can. Fair warning, Tom has five hour energy drink.
