Deb made the puppy chow which is Puffins (a Whole Foods cereal that is nice and puffy with a crunch) covered in cocoa powder and confectioners' sugar.
Emily had made habenero cookies -- which Paul can't eat -- so I got to keep them woo hoo!
I had gone all out with dinner, so we ate until we were semi comatose. I had even made jalapeno poppers for starters, not knowing that Paul doesn't eat spicy things. That just meant more for me and Deb! Besides there was a cracker and cheese platter and shrimp to munch on. The eye of the round roast beef was properly medium rare as requested (we even verified the temperature using the fancy meat thermometer system that Emily had given to me a couple of Christmases ago). The bacon wrapped chicken breast is to die for -- that will be re-created. And we had a half dozen veggies.
Today, Phyllis came for lunch and she brought the most amazing fruit salad and corn from last summer. We all decided to take Emily up on decorating cookies. Emily had brought everything to make the frosting. After a while, it dawned on me that the habanero cookies might be even better with some frosting. That's when Emily's brilliance shone through -- she "painted" a frosting pepper on the habanero cookies!
There are a lot more decorated cookies, but I'm too lazy to take more pictures. Besides, we're going to a movie. Yay!
More later. Maybe tomorrow ... I'm just having a good time here. :)
