i'm so excited
One of my closest friends from college and her husband are going to be in town this weekend...they are considering moving to our area and want to check out the local Jewish community. We're having them over for dessert on Friday night (maybe) and Shabbat afternoon for lunch. Yay!!!
In honor of the occasion, we are making a meat-based cholent in our first slow-cooker. The new one (which should remain pareve) will be used for soup on Friday night. Four guests for dinner and eight for lunch...I have a busy night of cooking ahead of me!

PS: I should mention that I am experiencing considerable wine-pairing angst at the moment.
PPS: Thanks to N, the wine crisis has been resolved. It involves opening three bottles tomorrow night, though, so I'm sure Julian is going to be thrilled.
...And thank you Shanna and Julian for a wonderful Shabbat!! You took really good care of us (and the food and wine were delicious!).
