Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Can,t help you on that one, I can,t really cook but you do know now you will have to post later and tell us what you cooked.:) I,m a very basic cook and for the life of me can,t follow recipes I,ve tried so many times and they,ve all failed :p

Why not do an Italian style feast. Totally different from bbq.

A big pasta bowl with whatever kind of pasta you like in it. I like to do a simple spaghettitini with garlic, olive oil and romano cheese. Then some meats on a plate, tear apart italian bread or garlic bread would work too, and a selection of olives. Then a dessert, serve all of it with wine.

It's our easiest dinner ever for a crowd LOL

Sounds like a fun evening, whatever you do.

hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin

Hmmmm Sharlene, you might be onto it there. Because my sister has turned vegan and also a vege niece I have been thinking I would have to cook two different things to cater for all of them. If I do that then they can add whatever they like to the pasta!!

What time is dinner Trish? I have been wanting to meet your family.:D

Hi Tracy,
So that's why you are so brave, you are Scottish! Makes sense:D Sending many more loving hugs your way. :p xxxx

Trish I,ll just have some plain pasta with some garlic bread please and oh a Bellini thank you very much :p

Yes Kathy I,m Scottish born and lived here all my life and I was brought up with the pick yourself up dust yourself off and get on with it attitude which works mostly but sometimes I just can,t do that :)

They are coming at 5pm and think I will serve dinner at 6 as Mum and Dad like it early :D You and Rosie are very welcome, I am sure she would keep Flynny entertained for the duration! x

Ohhhh that's a good idea Tracy, I am going to find a Bellini recipe and do that!!

AND have I told you I'm 1/4 Scottish, my Nana emigrated to NZ as a young girl... she was from Edinburgh area. I did a trip there with Mum when I was living in London and we went and had a look at the area where she came from!

Tracy,
I have lived in Southern California my entire life. We were raised to cry, whine, make excuses and blame everyone else. It hasn't worked well for me, because here, nobody gives a crap anyway. I like your way better! :D

Perfect!!! I found a recipe and it needs peach schnapps which Mum happens to have! I need to make a peach puree and peaches are in season here so I will mush some of them up and a drop of raspberry juice... I got fresh raspberries on my bush outside!! Man this is the drink for us tonight! :D:D

Oh your Nana lived in what our country bumkins called the Big City. Edinburgh is lovely, always busy, has really good bars and restaurants and of course it has "the Mile" Its where the posh people stay :cool:

Re the Bellini if you can get your hands on peaches then take the skin off and put them through the blender, drain the excess fluid and put a little into the bottom of a champers glass maybe 15 ml and fill the rest with prossecco or champers ta da one Bellini serve it chilled its better that way :D
