so my parents and brother came over for dinner today. there was some mishap with the grill and the grease drips from the previous time caught on fire. so after an hour that was taken care of . but this put the meat behind schedule. everytime my parents come over it's hectic. we can cook the same foods w/o them here and it's fine.
the roasted potatoes were done about 10 minutes before they needed to but i thought things would be crazy if i had them be done at just the right time. so then they started getting cold by the time everything else was actually done. i made the sauce for the hot saucage aroudn 2pm today and just reheated it for 5. i also steamed the green beans around that time and just put them in the fridge. then i heated them up on the stove w/ butter and salt at dinner time. it's the first time i've ever made fresh green beans. my mom's never made them either. they were good. i barely bought any and thought they'd turn out bad. of course if i bought a lot i would have found a way to mess them up. i did open a can of green beans because there wasn't a lot. but nobody ate those. i need to come up with better vegetables to make at picnics. also i only ever make roasted potatoes for guests. i should come up with something else. roasted potatoes are easy but so time consuming. i need to come up with something better. while i was prepping the green beans i thought how it wasn't worth the trouble for fresh green beans but then the taste was so nice afterwards. i guess i'll have to do that again.
oh so i only got dressed just as my parents were arriving. i didn't put on any makeup or even rebrush my hair after getting dressed.
