Sounds good, Kimberley.

We ate cereal for breakfast and leftovers for lunch....I had a very
comforting bowl of leftover beef stew while my apple cake baked. I had a
splitting headache, and I was worried that it might be the debilitating
stay-in-bed-nobody-talk-to-me kind of headache I get a few times a year (not
quite sure if they're migraines)....but I must just have been too hungry,
because after that bowl of stew, I felt much better.

We took the apple cake up to my mother-in-law's house. Munchies that were
set out included baby carrots, green olives stuffed w/ garlic, apple slices
with whipped strawberry cream cheese for dipping. Kind of a strange
combination; most of the people there were under age 5.

My MIL cooked rack of lamb with rosemary and garlic (a little overcooked,
but still tasty), baked potatoes, rice pilaf, crescent rolls (yes, that's a
lot of empty carbs on the table, considering there were just 7 of us, but
she wanted to give everyone a choice), asparagus, broccoli salad (the kind
w/ the green olives), cantaloupe w/ prosciutto...anything else? I think
that's it.

For dessert, there was the apple-walnut cake I'd made, which was a tad
overcooked, as I was on the phone during the final minutes of baking and
lost track of time, and vanilla ice cream, and sugar cookies. And some
homemade chocolate eggs that somebody from our church made: peanut butter
filled, and buttercream filled.

And now I am making gingerbread men for my son's 8th birthday party this
weekend...it's a Shrek-themed party, so the kids will decorate their own
Gingy cookies.
