dinner party suggestions:
soup course: chiffonade, shredded lettuce with hot stock poured over at last minute (per bowl or into soup tureen if you have it)
main: crepe cake from Julia Child, MTAFC, has mushrooms, cream cheese layers alternating with spinach in mornay sauce. easy to make ahead

not on topic, but "mother locust vows to make the blog look pretty someday"??!!!

This is the best-looking blog I've seen in weeks. Wow!! Fabu!!

I'm so not making an effort in the kitchen these days. I had a potluck housewarming party this weekend. My husband threw in a frozen lasagna. I made a bucket of saffron rice and some indian tomato curry. With seven kids coming over, I'd probably fold to fear and put out taco/salad bar.

oops--need to change that, johnna--that was before the blog got pretty. tomato curry sounds good--what's in it?
