Tonight's party 3472

Sounds absolutely great to me! I also am throwing a party tonight. It's a fund raiser for our local ASO (that's AIDS Service Organization for those who don't know) and it's an interesting concept. You throw a person party, deduct the cost off of your taxes and extort (!) money from your friends when they get there! It's called "Dining with Friends" and it makes our local agency about $61K every year which is sorely needed and the money is used mostly for education since our education budget has all but been obliterated by our beloved

Anyway, back to the party - We're having an open bar, wine, beer, etc, etc. I have fixed turkey, ham, smoked salmon w-all the trimmings, meatballs w-stroganoff sauce, veg trays, spinach dip, hummos, antipasta trays, grilled veggies, wings, samosas, shrimp, stuffed grape leaves, deviled eggs, pasta salad, 9 layer dip, fruit tray, tiramisu (bought at Costco), little tiny cream puffs (also Costco), strawberries w-chocolate fondue and I think that's it.

I hope we have at least 125.....I bought to-go boxes just in case there is a LOT of food left over.

Wish me luck....party starts at 6:30. If anyone is in Huntsville they're welcome to come!
