Who's up for dinner?

[hrj]

Ok, so I went shopping on the assumption that I'd be cooking a healthy-but-semi-gourmet dinner for six or seven hungry skiers this weekend, and it turns out I'm not. So who'd like to come over for an informal dinner party on Saturday to have herb-encrusted pork tenderloin, lemon-cheddar crookneck squash, fresh steamed green beans tossed with sauteed mushrooms and ... stuff, mixed grain pilaf, and a dessert to be named later? Location: my place (Oakland by Emeryville); Time: 5pm (I like an early dinner on weekends); Entertainment: the witty conversation of whoever takes me up on the invitation. First seven people to ask are invited.

Blast. I'd be there in a hot red second if it weren't for stuff like, oh, enormous distance and prior engagements.

I'll come help you celebrate St. David's Day.

I would join you if my weekend wasn't complicated by all the complicating things.

Dinner at your place sounds like fun. Can I bring anything?

I'll come, if permitted. (You live near sea level!)

Oops, that was me.

Silly you for living so far away!

That's right -- it is! And I have lots of daffodils for decorating the table! Hmm, maybe something Welsh will inspire me for the dessert.

Oh, and I'd love to have you at my dinner party! I think you haven't been here before. I'll e-mail you directions.

Yeah, darn those complicating complications.

I'd love to have you to dinner. (And you don't need directions.) Just bring yourself.

As long as you promise you aren't infectious!

Sounds great, but you are currently too far away and, if all goes well, the Mormans will be fixing our chimney on Saturday.

After we've moved back to California, things like this may be of more interest. Of course, we'll be near the path to Kirkwood, so we can hope you'll stop sometimes on your way to/from skiing.

That was more or less what I was thinking. I do not think I could make it in time.

What countess_e said, except its just 350 miles. I'll consider your reply to her to apply to me also.

I second countess_e's motion. (And in my case, the distance was transcontinental and the prior engagement within half an hour of the ATLANTIC Ocean!)
