mix it up

it's been a mix of massive rain and snippets of nice sun lately. when it's raining, i like to close the curtains and light a fire so i can ignore outside. you know, turtle syndrome.

as it's sunny right now, i'm going to soon take advantage of it and grab some supplies for this evening. we're having cecile and her partner over for quiche and wii. *ehm* when i found out they were coming over, i was like: what's easy and tasty that will go over well? we'd had quiche at their house so i thought it might be nice. anyway cecile also offered to bring a quiche, so it's going to be a cook-off fightclub of french vs. canadian quiche! who will win?! i've also made chocolate dipped strawberries, because when i went to dunnes yesterday the strawberries looked delicious and fresh and they were on sale. and we're going to have some grilled asparagas with pinenuts and shaved cheese. i didn't get a parmasan at the market yesterday, cause i had no idea i was going to buy asparagas, so we'll have to make do with the gouda... which was lovely and a bit sharp on last night's tester.

it's nice to have a bit of a small dinner party. you know, some effort, but not so much that you're stressing about having enough food for 16 people. 4 is much more workable.
