johnson's party...

Busy day yesterday.

Dan woke me up at 12.00pm to remind me that Skene, Jo and James would be arriving in 4 hours! Oh my god!

I dragged myself out of bed and into the shower then immediately started preparing for their arrival. Dan and Ron were sent to the shop to buy ingredients for dinner and booze for the party. I stayed at home baking and feeling like a proper housewife!

With one guest a vegetarian and one guest a pure carnivore, the choice of what to cook for dinner was very difficult! In the end, I settled for pizzas. Everyone loves pizzas and it would suit everyone's needs.

By the time Dan and Ron got back from shopping, I had finished making the pizza dough and it was sitting on the side where it would rise for at least the next hour. I was just about to start making the onion bhaji's for the party when Dan asked if I'd made enough dough. "Of course I have, I doubled the recipe". Oh yes, I'd doubled the recipe I use to feed 2 people expecting it to feed 6 people. Arrgh! So back to making pizza dough and all that kneading!

Finally the pizza dough was made and it was time to start making the bhajis and I was still making bhajis when everyone arrived. I had at least, managed to spare 20 minutes when the beaus mixture was sitting to sort out my hair.

Dinner was a great success. Everyone seemed to enjoy making their own pizza and the choice of toppings suited everyone's need :o)

Soon it was time to go to Jansenism party which this time, was a "bring a hat" party.



We had a good night and met up with some of Johnson's friends who we hadn't seen for a while. Boys were boys and made a tower of Boddington cans which of course was knocked over on purpose by someone else. Dan and Ron started to hide bottle tops around Johnson's flat for him to find later and the obligatory spilage on the carpet was unfortunately red wine which was quickly coated in a ton of salt.

All in all it was a very good night and we were very lucky to get home alive after Mr Taxi Man's speedy driving along the A4!

And of course the evening was captured in pictures.
