it could be said I'm a constant worrier,
worrying about little details, especially when it comes to
giving a little party...like this one on Sunday, when the NFL playoff games take place.
I'm a diehard New England fan,
but I love Peyton Manning too.
so, a difficult situation, I'll just say may the best team win.
I need a bit of advice on food to serve.
mainly because we are all heading over to the
local Tex-Mex joint after the 1st game, just because we
always do this on Sunday evening.
the game is between lunch & dinner.
tell me, please, what I should serve my 10 guests.
seriously, I'm clueless right now.
except that we will have Texas Margarita's
and the fabulous drink below, which is a serious pain
to make, but is so festive...
