Hot Dog Dinner

I can't believe I have less than two weeks until the wedding. Is calm panic a state of being that's easy to understand? That's what I'm feeling right now. I have a schedule that seems doable, but there's a nagging feeling in the back of my head that it could all come crashing down if just one thing goes wrong.

In an effort to preserve sanity, we're keeping meals very simple this week. I got some good beef franks and chicken and apple sausages from Trader Joe's and caramelized some sweet onions. Along with plenty of salad greens, a citrus Fizzy Lizzy, some bread and butter pickles, and the usual condiments, it was a delicious meal. And, do you like my new houseplants? We're trying to be cheery and clean for any wedding guests who decide they want to come see our apartment.

And in my bid for the title of Hostess with the Mostest, I whipped out a Japanese snack dish set my sister bought me last year and filled them with all the treats I could find. I don't think of myself and J as big snackers (we prefer real meals over little munchies), but we sure do have a lot of stuff lying around!
