11 Last Minute Dinner Guests

The title says it all. They were from France, they were staying with my parents and they all decided to drop by two nights ago. How did we make dinner for so many people? We made them do it themselves. We set up a burger bar. Megan did have to marinate the meat and form it into patties, and I grilled. Otherwise, the toppings and buns were set out for them to do what they pleased. Paper productes made clean-up a snap. Megan did find time to make dessert. The fruit cake decorated like the French flag inspired an inpromtu singing of the French national anthem. The rest of the meal was all-American: baked beans and corn on the cob. (Is this entry too much like the Wangsters blog? A diary of what we ate?) We did get some good gifts and it was nice opportunity to revisit our wedding pictures. Of course, we took some new photos.
