On Friday night, I hosted a dinner party for 12. I find it quite stressful cooking for a large group of people. I'm usually not worried about the presentation or taste of the food, it's more that I'm terrified of timing - planning for everything to be ready at the same time. It didn't help the situation that I tried to make a bunch of small appetizers, that required the oven (at varying temperatures) at the same time. Everyone showed up at 7:30 and I was dripping with sweat. I kept asking people if it was hot in our house, but nope, it was just me, sweating due to shear panic. I should have got drunk, then I probably would have been more relaxed, but the food may not have tasted that good!
I managed to accomplish 6 recipes on Friday night. I'm almost caught up! I started my 365 day recipe challenge on Jan 7, so I was a little behind in the kitchen.
