But in this case my sister had to rush home with her 18 mo. old daughter and my cousin had to high-tail it to LA... working the next day and all. The only good thing is that I can clean a dish here and there the next day as the kids run about. I would seriously entertain twice a week if it weren't for cleaning. And now I ramble....Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175689037740815962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605006628964292904.post-14739033863649712072008-04-24T19:46:00.000-07:002008-04-24T19:46:00.000-07:00no leftovers are a great sign. dinner parties can ...no leftovers are a great sign. dinner parties can be tricky. <BR/><BR/>how do you manage clean up?

Technically it's precooked, but it still crumbles great and for some reason I have a difficult time eating/cooking sausages in casing, so I remove it for even the cooked ones.That Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004439474693190019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605006628964292904.post-88009912169463004022008-04-24T10:14:00.000-07:002008-04-24T10:14:00.000-07:00Mama Geek- I would love to cook for you!

I don't know if the additions made it more sophisticated or not. But I had some oranges on their way out and ??? I always like to mix things up. As for the photo... My brother-in-law is 6'5" and he was standing on a chair to take the photo.<BR/><BR/>Kim- Thank you! Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Jared- Citrus is a great marinade. I also use a lot of citrus in my carne asadas.<BR/><BR/>Single Girl- Your sandwich sounds great. Nothing like flavorful chicken.<BR/><BR/>Emily- Thank you!!<BR/><BR/>Kate- Well you would love me then. Total mess. That pic was at the beginning before all hell broke loose too.<BR/><BR/>Sherry- Yes. The beginning IS clean and organized. Then it goes to shambles. Glad I could offer you something befitting your diet.<BR/><BR/>Michelle- Welcome!! That is very flattering that you are going to copy my meal. Let me know how it turns out. My brother-in-law took the photo. At 6'5" and standing on a chair, he has serious height!<BR/><BR/>Taste Memory- Thanks! I will come check it out. I am going to be a little less present in the bloggosphere for a few weeks too. I HAVE to prep for my trade show and design new items. I have to get in Christmas mode NOW!!!
