Clean-up time

It's Friday night, not Saturday... :)

We had an impromptu dinner party tonight. I decided last night to make a chicken stew with dumplings tonight. After work I went to Safeway and got a bunch of stuff for this weekend to make dinner tonight and tomorrow night, and to do a bunch of baking. I got home at about 4:45. At first it was just going to be Luke and I, then 2 more, then 2 more and 2 more again. I decided to double the recipe early on and it turned out just fine. BUT not before arriving at 8:45!! I called Safeway around 8 to ask what was going on. Turns out the delivery guy missed my bags. I asked for a refund forthe $6.50 delivery fee and for them to get me my groceries ASAP. About 3 minutes later I get a call and they are sending my groceries in a taxi and not long after they arrived. They also gave us a $10 gift card for our inconvenience.

When we started unpacking, we realized that we had more than what I had purchased. Among the items that were extra:
- a turkey
- ribs
- mini tart shells
- 6-pack of muffins
- 2 packages of butter
- molasses
- 4 mini pizzas
- 2 gravy mixes
- mango chutney
- wheel of brie
- block of cheddar

I think that's most of it. I think they just mistakenly put someone else's order in our box. Should I feel bad about that? What if they gave it as a gift to make up for being late? I don't think so. Maybe I'll wait a day and see how I feel about it. Then again, I need the butter and molasses, and I've never cooked a turkey. :)

Anyway, after some stew 2 more arrived (we're up to 10 now). Lots of laughing and game playing. Now we are alone, the dishwasher is going (for the 2nd time tonight) and Jebus is asleep on his chair. I'm looking forward to waking up in a clean apartment tomorrow morning. Everything will be tidy, off to a good start. I think we'll put up the lights on the patios tomorrow! My lovely lavender mixer will get a good run this weekend too hopefully. :) Here it is... ahh so nice. haha. Hurray for weekends!
