Friday the 13th dinner party

Planning a party

It’s Friday the 13th. Call me superstitious, but I have already had a bust up at work, a tough client meeting and slipped on my trendy winklepickers and grazed my knee.

I now have a dinner party for 10 to look forward to, for which I have cooked an entirely Bengali meal of kosha mangsho, aloo kophir dalna, cholar dal and doi begun.

But I am afraid. Very afraid.

Will I forget the long-stemmed lilies at work?

Will I be exposed as a lying fake with a bleeding knee as I burn the food while trying to reheat it in the oven?

Will I get drunk before dinner’s served again this time as a result of an antihistamine overdose and not excessive alcohol consumption? 

This domestic goddess thing is way too stressful on a day like this. Wish me luck. Gulp!

   I was to bake for a potluck today but the unlucky juju hit me last night, I had to bring a pre-made tray from the store.
   I’m a bad person. LOL.

   glad it sounds to have gone well, sounds tasty! I whipped up a quick & easy pasta dish for Friday the 13th. Bad luck for me was limited to my 20 month old shutting the door on his finger on the way out the door, when we were already late for daycare dropoff…fortunately he’s not able to put too much force into his door closing yet!
