Dinner On Hold

I have been planning a dinner party for 10 people for the last month or so. When we went to Flagstaff, I bought 3 pounds of tilapia and 2 pounds of shrimp, so I could make a large pot of my Mexican Seafood Soup. Yesterday, we went to Kanab, and I bought six avocados and some corn tortillas. My neighbor, Mark, bought fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, and mangos for his contribution to the party.

And then, this morning, my supervisor, who was also invited to the party, called to tell me she just remembered we have a mandatory staff meeting for our department tomorrow night at 6 p.m. One hour after my party was to have started. She apologized to me for not letting me know when she was invited, but hey, we ALL got the memo in April with all the dates of all our staff meetings for the year. Oh well, we are still having the party, but is has been rescheduled for next Sunday.

Because the party was postponed, I have to figure out what to do with those avocados. I bought some frozen avocados from Schwan’s a couple months ago, and they turned out pretty good. I was surprised at how good the guacamole was that I made with them, because, to be honest, I really didn’t think frozen avocados would be all that good. So, I am going to try freezing them, and them mash them up next week and make guacamole out of them. I usually serve avocado slices with my soup, but I have also put guac on the top of the soup before, and it was good. I just can’t stand the thought of wasting $9 worth of avocados.

So, no party this week. And I was so looking forward to the company of friends…..

    Will be there next week. I may just saute some Tilapia for myself. But still don't know what I'm bringing, now that I can come. Have to go to town on next days off anyway.

    You guys are so cute – your stories remind me of the prairie days – especially the "go to town" !! Sorry you party was postponed when you had planned it out so nicely. But now you have extra time to make some of your delicious desserts!!

    Bummer about your party being rescheduled. I'll be interested to hear how the frozen avocados turn out. I didn't know you could freeze them.
