And the Do is Done and what a Do it was - the best ever. The busiest Do has been about twenty people, but we had forty or thereabouts - everyone showed up this year. I made FIVE pounds of pasta - last year I made four, the year before three and there's always some left. Tonight all five pounds were eaten, along with most of the sauce, which I made more of than ever before. A good thing I doubled the dose of tuna pasta salad because that all went, too, save for a few ounces.
Also, I normally herd everyone into the den, but that was impossible and the party took place in all rooms. I won't remember everyone who came, but the surprises were Andrea Marcovicci and her mom, my neighbor, Karen Morrow and a few others. I'll write more in the notes - I'm exhausted but finishing a movie to relax.
