Oh, I had a great time. Just found it unusual that so many
of the dished didn't turn out great. I often make lots of
new recipes when I have a dinner party and I rarely have
anything not turn out really good. So this was sort of a
fluke. Nothing was "horrible", just not so good I'd want
to make it again. Anyway, thanks for the input.

Don't you mean bQirthday? ;-) I just saw my post and
saw my typo. Sheesh. I'm losing it.
