it's NOT that i haven't cooked. and thus posted in the kitchen. i've got a rule (ok. guideline) that a photograph must accompany the post/recipe. a photograph of the dish. we've cooked a number of things in the past month that have been blogworthy. but. i either forgot to take a picture or the picture was crappy. i vow to do better this weekend.
saturday is the "eric clapton school of fine arts" graduation party. for those of you unfamiliar with this esteemed institution, let me explain. the ecsofa does NOT EXIST IN REALITY. it is what we call jackson's home school experience. got it? not real. a joke. meant to reflect the nontraditional educational experience we tried to provide for jax.
so we sent out gobs of invitations that "appeared" to be real graduation announcements and invitations to the celebration, complete with foil-lined envelopes and our choice of jax' graduation picture, the one i posted last month of him sitting on the front step playing his guitar with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. a pox on that friend of ours who told me she didn't like the picture. said it was ugly. i called her a bitch and told her that her kids were ugly. i thought that as long as we were being honest...
so it looks like we've got about 80 people expecting steak and lobster showing up at our house saturday. preparations are in full gear. pool closing tonight, bill's finishing up the work on his grill, tenderloins and lobster tails ordered. tents, tables and chairs reserved. shopping list prepared. lists galore.
matt and mel and mark and sarah will all be here for the festivities. they've got digital cameras and know how to use them, so... check out "the kitchen" sunday. and if you're in the cleveland, ohio, area on saturday... come on down!
*SOBS*
I want to hang out with the graduating class!
BTW...you HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO post your invitiations for this weekends festivities. Seriously, Stace, they were AMAZING!
Have to.

Posted by: jen at September 29, 2004 09:06 AMThe invites sound very pic-worthy!
It never ceases to amaze me how humans can go so far down to a rock bottom, then pull themselves up, and achieve all kinds of wondrous things. I am thrilled that 2 parents are celebrating with such enthusiasm. It sounds like quite a road you all have been on... how fun to be able to celebrate as you continue along.
Ummm, what kind of unhappy person tells a friend that a photo of friend's child is ugly? Where do these people come from? *shakes head in wonderment*
