My house is silent right now... the only sound is the water cycling into the fishtank behind me and the dull hum of the computer. With six kids living in the house- silence is sometimes unfathomable.

I'm currently organising my Mum's Girls' Night In (the last one - the one I got all upset about - was cancelled as Mum was stuck in Benidorm).
We're doing it her way. She's quite happy with what I am cooking and we've agreed the menu. She's calm because I've broken it down for her so she knows I won't have to do much on the night, and there is plenty of time for everything. Of course I have sneaked in some little details of my own. Like introducing the idea of frozen strawberry daiquiris (bought mix, just add water and rum). And getting plastic glasses for them as none of ours were suitable. And making mini cornbread muffins as hors d'oeuvres. Simple, cheap (except the rum, but Mum & Dad drink that anyway) and yet something different for the "girls". I'm attempting a Chile Con Queso as a starter. Mum doesn't realise this is my first attempt. Let's not worry her, eh? If it goes tits up at least they can fill their faces with muffins and tortilla chips I'm borrowing a fondue set to keep the dish warm. I've also got a couple of chilli-style serving plates for the bits & pieces. Tried & tested fajitas for the main, no surprises there. And finally I'm going to put lights on the bushes outside. If the weather is good that is. Fingers crossed, it should be, then they can have drinks and hor d'oeuvres outside. I rejected the inflatable cactus idea and bought cacti candles on eBay instead. They were an unwanted gift so it was a private seller and I got them dirt cheap. I also decided against the Mexican flag bunting and the Cinque de Mayo centrepiece. I have remembered that this is Mum's evening not mine. But I bet they talk about it afterwards And yes, I am looking forward to it immensely. |

The first hand-made cheese of spring is a squeaky cheddar... very yummish!
