Busy Week

I had high hopes for keeping up with the posts, so forgive the delay.

It's been a busy couple of weeks. There are lost of changes in the Haus of Dude. One of the roommates (Brent) got married this weekend. I helped out by catering the rehearsal dinner.

Menu:

Rosemary Lemonade
Green Salad w baked goat cheese
Orzo salad
Potato Salad
Grilled Vegetables
Flank Steak
Pesto, Red Pepper Romesco, Chimichuri sauces
Lemon Bars

It wasn't too crazy technique-wise, but it was for 40 people. I've never cooked for that many on my own. Fortunately some of Brent's family chipped in. It made life a lot easier.


Apart from the food, the wedding means Brent is moving out. My friend Jeff just moved in last night to take his place, although Brent hasn't actually moved his stuff out yet.

We are also losing Ted soon, since his girlfriend Liila is moving back to Seattle. (Liila is the original inhabitant of the house.) We put an add up on Craigslist for a roommate, as well as a sublet since Brendan is going to Iceland for the next 6 months. After meeting several people, we chose two girls. We liked the idea of gender balance. I'll write more about the girls when they move in and I learn more about them. The short of it is that Teddy is replacing Ted, and Clare will be staying in the house for 6 months. What I know so far:

Teddy works in a biology lab at UW
Clare is in a theater company, and works at my favorite donut shop, Mighty-O.

Sorry there aren't any pictures. Hope I didn't bore you with words.
