my friend’s new Labrador Puppy & Reunion Dinner Plans

Well I had a blast this past weekend, so much that I didnt go to work Monday or Tuesday to enjoy the weekend some more!! I know naughty naughty me, but I just couldnt’ help it! My friend R & F (they’re boyfriend and girlfriend) they just moved into this amazing brand new 3 bedroom apartment and had invited me and my bf to the housewarming. Now with so much space they’ve been talking about getting a puppy and so the day of the housewarming they finally got a puppy. It was shoooo cute. They named him from the movie Zohan, i thought it was a cute name. He was so adorable and I got to babysit him for the days I stayed over at their apartment. It was so much fun. (besides dealing with my friends absolutely annoying drive me up the wall room mate!!! She’s the type of person you try, want to be friends with but it’s just so impossible with her nagging and annoying mannerisms..) It was adorably cute how he would wake up from a nap get up just to snuggle up closer to me. He had this thing about being comfortable when sleeping only when he was around someone. Here’s some pics of him, then you yourself can judge how cute he is and not just take my word for it.. hehe…

Well for the housewarming I made the best pasta I had ever made up until this point. One of the girls coming to the party wanted chicken in the pasta so I made it with chicken for the first time and it was a biggg hit, everyone wanted more and moreĀ  and more… Oddly enough I have to make it this weekend as well because this Saturday evening I’ve planned a dinner party at my place for all my classmates from school where I was for one year in 7th grade. It was only one year that I went to school here in India (then of course I got homesick and had gone back to the US to finish up my highschool) but It was a very special year in my life where I made some friends for life. I bump into some of them every couple of months and others I havent met in years and most of them are ready to come so Im really looking forward to this dinner. Im also making/cooking everything from scratch because Im on this cooking craze for some reason. heheh… This is the menu I planned for the reunion dinner party Im having:

White Sauce Chicken Italian Pasta
Garlic Bread (That of course will be store bought!)
Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Fresh Garden Salad with Ranch Dressing
Guacamole with Tortilla Chips
Make Your Own Sundae (for dessert, Im going to buy a big huge amount of vanilla ice cream and have different toppings like chocolate sauce, roasted almonds, butterscotch topping, sliced bananas soaked in honey, fresh cut strawberries, and strawberry sauce for people to choose what they want on their icecream)

Im super excited and drooling just thinking about it… I charged my batteries so I can take some really nice pictures of my friends and this dinner. Looking forward to this dinner. theyre very bubbly and friendly more so than my college group of friends… lalala such is life. I honestly want to add one more side dish to the menu above because I dont think this is going to be enough or just in case so there’s enough food to go around… so going to go back to my recipe hunting. wish me luck!!
