I sent an email to random ppl asking them to PLEASE come over to my home this Sat. Night and eat NTBMO leftovers that I had that were going to go bad. I'm sure my email sounded pathetic b/c I was desperate for ppl to eat the food as I'm not a waster, but one friend said they couldn't believe my 911 email was accurate thinking it was, their words "over the top", but once they came and saw for themselves they were like..."you weren't joking, you have so much food!" ha, ha, I guess they thought I was using food to have everyone's company. That is funny! These leftovers were like bottomless......the food went through the NTBMO with 14 people, then the next day on the 1st day of ULB it went through a luncheon with 8 ppl, and then there were 16 over Sat.Night...yes ppl came and rescued me.....and I still have food left even with ppl getting seconds.....it's manageable now though!
ANYWAY, with that background on this dinner here goes.....Above Video.....Pete Zolla got WAY lost on his way out to my place, and when he finally arrived everyone showed their hunger pains by welcoming him! :-)
Below: You cannot come to my house and not sing at least one Karaoke song! You can really hear Aimee's amazing voice in this little clip.
The first clue that I had a 1st world food overage problem was when I had to use a bar stool propped up under the frig handles to keep the frig shut it was so full. It was ghetto, but it worked!
I asked Justin and Charles to move my piano to another location in the house. Sometime next month Steve Hercus is going to come over and tune my piano. It's been in my great room, but there was a vent under it, and it was messing with the tuning and who knows what else with it, so thanks to the guys for being such strong men, picking up that heavy thing, and moving it into it's new room!
Loving Deepika's smile....and happy that Dan W. made it out..first time he's been over.......
I like how relaxed ppl look in this pic, esp Jamie.
Beautiful smiles from Monica and Chelsea
Tiffany looks gorgeous here.
Nice pic of Aimee and Deepika
Heritage matters: :-)
Danielle, the Italian took tons of pasta to her plate, and Justin the Asian, took tons of rice to his.
Apparently, I'm confused with what I am....just a mix of this and that. :-)
What's wrong with little bro Justin in this pic...did he eat too much. :-)
No, the curl fro is not my new hair do...it's called not having time to flat iron my hair.
Abby and Ariel
Even our dogs got in on the leftover action....sniffing the ground for any pieces of food it missed and then coming up my steps begging for more.
First thing was to cut up the leftover duck and make it into an oriental stir fry. Lots of ginger, pepper, and garlic, and rice vinegar!
Turned the Roasted Loin of Beef into Texas Styled BBQ beef.
Used the leftover meatball appetizer to make spicy spaghetti sauce.
Used the leftover chocolate morsels, strawberries that were about to go overripe, and leftover peanut butter and chocolate mix I had made earlier in the week making treats for friends to make a ice cream cake.
Had 5 potatoes left in the pantry from NTBMO that were going to go bad, so sliced them and seasoned them baking in oven with paprika, onion, and garlic.
Made whole wheat ULB. Most people wouldn't want my gluten free ULB.
Kept the chicken as is...just thawed it out from the freezer.
Below: More karaoke!....If you get knocked down, get right back up. I love it. :0 Danielle and Sean are karaoke king and queen. :-)
