We had a bunch of trees cut down yesterday and they didn't get all of the ones we were hoping for so they may be back out today. On top of that we are also getting a new septic system put in today so I think we are pretty much stuck inside today.
What is your go to for party food? I'm helping plan an outdoor 80th birthday this weekend. We are serving pulled pork & chicken and so far I'm making pasta salad.

Whew littleredfish, that's a heck of a day. Fx all goes smoothly. younglove316, I am no cook by any means. Most of our parties are heavy hors d'oeuvres. My go-to is buffalo chicken dip.
AFM today, I am still in 'where is my mail' hell. The newest development is that after I filled out an address forwarding card, in person, old school style, the USPS decided to change my address to a similar street name in a town that's a good 30min drive away from me. WTAF!!! I dont even know what to do anymore. I've made millions of calls, gone in person, chased down our mail carrier . . . No one seems to know what to do or how to help. Cmon, are you telling me this is the first new home community youve ever dealt with? Give me a fucking break.

I thought about that too ashleymarie26. I'm sure it's not expensive, it just irritates me that I'd have to pay AND have the inconvenience of going to collect my mail when it's a service that's supposed to be provided to us. I already pay plenty of taxes for these govt services.

I like to make hoagie dip for parties but it uses lunch meat so probably shouldn't sit outside. Otherwise I usually volunteer dessert

It's my day off. I'm exhausted so I'm slipping stroller strides and I might meet up with a friend. Otherwise I'm going to try to take care of my fraud mess and just be home!

younglove316, I made these for a party and they were a bug hit. I made ny own insides too because I had vegetarian guests, DH doesn't like cheese, so I just played around with it and they all turned out great. lilluna.com/cream-cheese-and-chicken-taquitos/

yummeecookee, I'm obsessed with buffalo chicken dip.
younglove316, easiest thing for apps is a cracker, cheese and salami/pepperoni platter. It's always devoured at parties. I usually do a large baked pasta dish - macaroni pie (West Indian for baked mac and cheese), ziti or lasagna. Macaroni pie would go well with the pulled pork and chicken. Sides suggestions- coleslaw (I do an asian coleslaw when I don't want a creamy one), potato salad, grilled/roasted veggies, regular salad, fruit salad.

I tried a new salad last week that was amazing. It's a cold salad.
I got the antibiotics (Augmentin) for my sinus infection. My GP gave the standard BS about you should refrain from BFing while on this drug. I pointed out I had already been prescribed this drug for mastitis and E had even taken it for her ear infection. The doc was like, well you should still refrain for a couple of days. But, the course of antibiotics runs for 10 days. How is that logic? Oh right, b/c you don't actually know what you are talking about and are CYA for no reason. It literally made NO sense.
I am so sick of being told my random medical care professionals to "just abstain from Bfing." One, MOST medications are perfectly safe while BFing. And two, like it's just that easy to not BF for a couple of days. Like, shut up you clearly don't know what you are talking about. On Monday the optometrist said she couldn't recommend OTC allergy eyedrops b/c I was BFing. How would that even get into my bloodstream, let alone my milk?!?! I'm not feeding her with my fucking eyeball.

WTAF?
I understand the abundance of caution, but really. That makes 0 sense.

kensie5226 if you were feeding your kiddo with your eyeball I would be a little concerned for you! That's all really dumb.
AFM, I took E in for her 6mo shots. She did great, just screamed for a couple of minutes then she was over it. While we were waiting another mom came in with her 1 year old for his shots and he and E became buddies. She was almost as big as he was! He was taller but skinny. They were very cute together. They kept putting their faces together lol.
Now she's smearing hummus and cucumbers everywhere. I think she's fine

Baby slept through story time, so didn't go out. Now I'm gonna find lunch and count down the hours till DH gets off work. Tonight B has swimming lessons, then we'll go visit my FIL.
Just got home. DD1 went first and screamed and cried. DD2 didnt care. We got ice cream for a treat. We'll see how tonight goes I guess!!! Could have been worse for sure.
