september morning ....

Good morning September! Happy Teachers Day to all teachers! Today is your day so relax, enjoy and be merry hehee...

I had a bunch of funny dreams last night which i am choosing not to recall lol it was freaky i would with half a dozen people i dont know lol .. i know there was marriages, friends, family, food and guys i dont know lol - i think my minds on overload lol anyways.. woke up relatively early and with coffee in hand i am planning my menu for my lunch get together with my gf's tomorrow ...- i figured i had it done but i am making changes and looking for recipes - Guests includes my best friend , her mom and a an old friend from school - i am pretty excited about it. I havent had a lunch party in a while - nothing beats cooking for my guests and enjoying their company so i am pretty excited about it .. i can hear my mom ( who is in the living room) talking about my aunt who has passed away - now i remembered that i dreamt of her last night too.. she was talking and at the wedding was as if she was still around - i think too its because i was looking at old pictures of the family with my mom - a deja vu moment ...

Im doing a Mediterranean/Arabic/Mexican combo for my party which i think is kinda diffrent - one of the dishes is a traditional family recipe the rest a combination of things i find and have tried in the past .. tentatively my menu right now is as follows ...

Starters :-
Pita wedges with hummus or maybe veggie & cheese kebabs

Main Course:-
Shabshukah (family recipe)
Mediterranean pasta salad or
fresh green salad or cool cucumber salad (leaning towards this actually)
Spinach & feta cheese (great accompanyment to the shabshukah)
French loaf

Dessert:-
Kek Singkep (moms recipe)
Vanilla & lime Flan

so thats what it is for now .. i think when i print out the menu i can finally decide what the final menu would be .... so now its time to print, ponder & head out to the market n start the party processing .. im so excited!! ;) .....
