I totally agree about spending too much time in the kitchen, thus my
doing something in the oven early on. Last night went without a hitch
and we were sipping wine and getting our relax on in no time at all.

I do love a good outdoor party! It's just now getting nice enough that
we can spend more time outside in the evening. Grilling -- be it
charcoal or gas -- is my forté. If someone offers to bring a dish I
don't turn them down. Then there's Bob, and you know he will have lots
of things ready.

What a great idea! A party I would love to attend. Take pictures, please.
