Going on a short "break"

It looks as though, even with all of the advance planning, I'll be spending most of my time this week in preparation for the surprise party on Friday. I forgot about that nagging backache which I get after spending 5+ hours on my feet in the kitchen (I want one of those gel mats!), and things are just going soooo slowly since I'm still a bit wobbly on my feet.

I shall post many recipes next week. And photos, too-- our guests are good friends and I can tell them to wait for a minute while I take a photo of their dinner... ;)

Later, 'gators!
