These are close family friends who are helping my hubby with his job search. I struggled with what to fix, as I am trying to stay out of the store and this week has been busy and Saturday we are gone most of the day due to the kids' basketball schedules. I also asked my friend to bring dessert because I don't have to time to make anything. I am going to do chili and cornbread. Definitely not fancy but I can stick it in the crockpot and make the cornbread before they come over. Simple but good (and I have everything I need in my pantry!)

I read an article about entertaining when things are less then perfect and according to it, we should embrace our imperfection. People are coming to see us, not inspect our houses. Serve the meal, have some good conversation, and worry about nothing else.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-57744342912294251182018-01-25T11:39:57.587-06:002018-01-25T11:39:57.587-06:00We are all in this mode of taking care and worryin...We are all in this mode of taking care and worrying over an older parent.

Sounds like it will be a lovely meal. <br /><br />My mom continues to spend the majority of her retirement sorting out the estate of her step father (who, she was not close to, but her mom died first). I feel terrible for her. She is not the person who enjoys the process at all, and it's been such a tremendous burden. She promised her mother before she died that she would take care of her husband - and, what a promise that was to keep. <br /><br />Hope you get a reprieve at the end of a crazy work week!Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.com
