Mom is really excited (she has dementia) Dad says "whatever you cook will be fine" (he has terminal cancer). So, our menu is pasta, salad and ice cream. I'll throw in a few fat/carb loaded items to stoke their bodies and just pray that they can digest them! The Spirit in our home has helped them weather many trials! Than you Jesus and Thank you to all who open your homes for hospitality.~nanashouse~https://www.blogger.com/profile/10810535392089222201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-70367266810200791872008-05-15T11:48:00.000-07:002008-05-15T11:48:00.000-07:00Sandy-I took your advice and stuck to tried and tr...Sandy-<BR/>I took your advice and stuck to tried and true recipes that I felt confident making. People keep saying what a great cook I am. :) I'm sticking to my 3 basic menus and we've had people over for the past few weeks. I've been having women and their children over on Wednesday's and families on Saturday's. <BR/>Thanks for showing me easy ways to open my home. I have even sent links to my husband since he is even more outgoing that I am. <BR/>Keep blogging and we will keep reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-5832755150776622632008-05-15T10:23:00.000-07:002008-05-15T10:23:00.000-07:00I like lunch entertaining, too!

The platters look so yummy, and then people can fix their own! It looks like you've gone to a lot of work when you really haven't.<BR/><BR/>I do homemade soups for lunch, too. Just keep broth in the cupboard (or homemade broth in the freezer), and then throw in leftover beef or chicken (again, I keep this in the freezer), add rice, barley or noodles, veggies, and you're done! Soups look a lot harder than they really are!<BR/><BR/>But I'm jealous of you for having lettuce in your garden already. Our snow only went away a few weeks ago...<BR/><BR/><I>Visit <A HREF="http://tolovehonorandvacuum.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">To Love, Honor and Vacuum</A> today!</I>Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842674051346091248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36263828.post-50079659898867530752008-05-15T08:49:00.000-07:002008-05-15T08:49:00.000-07:00those tulips! are those yours? beautiful. love thi...those tulips! are those yours? beautiful. love this idea Sandy and I am going to do the same very soon.
