Calm before the storm... literally according to NOAA

This weekend is Supper Club Weekend!  My excitement is tempered only slightly by the fact that it's my turn to host it: Sixteen adults, six or so children, depending on how the teenagers decide to spend their evening.

What is this supper club of which I speak? Well, about a year and a half ago, one of our friends decided he wanted to have a "Supper Club" - a group of a few families of close friends who gather once a month for food and fun.  It's been going strong in that time, and we've done everything from themed murder mystery dinners to vacation slide shows.  A bit corny at times, yes, but this is an awesome group that has traveled together, worked together, and even lived together (Camping!  Weekend cabins on the lake!) for short periods of time.  It falls to a different family each month to host, and that family provides all the food and drink.  With six families in the core group, it works out to about twice a year hosting duties.

So back to the calm.  My grocery shopping is done.  The menu is planned.  The house cleaning is on pace to be completed, and the gardening is, too.  To my dismay, though, NOAA.gov has decided to tell me it's probably going to thunderstorm on my fantastic garden party barbecue. Sadface.

To cheer myself up about the possible rainy day, I am posting a picture of my Victorian plant stand herb garden.  It is just cheerful looking!


The cilantro doesn't know it yet, but it's going to get a severe trim
to help out  with the Mexican Salad on Saturday.
