We are having a dinner party tonight.
I made gumbo( a sort of soup), chicken and sausage, and tasso which is delicious smoked pork. It really added flavor to my gumbo and tastes great.
There will 10 of us eventually. 2 guys are watching the broncos play at a bar and there was a rain delay due to lightening. So they will be late.
My friend Melissa is bringing deviled eggs and cookies. yum!
I asked sue and nell to bring some thing green. Lucus is bringing potato salad.
My social anxiety has returned so I have been drinking a bit. The gumbo has been cooking for hours. So it is getting thicker which I like. It is a little spicy but not to much.
I have about 20 minutes before some people arrive. I think we will eat at 6;30...at 6pm I need to start the rice. I use a rice cooker and makes it easy.
I set the table for 6 and the living room up with a couple of tv trays. So we will all fit in there.
It has been years since I had a dinner party. and since I have made gumbo. So it is special. I really wanted it to be good.
