Party day. Care and feeding of houseguests until afternoon when the rest of the party arrived, then we played games and ate stuff. A good time was had by all (or they're really good at pretending) and all the food went excellently. We had cranberry & apricot stuffed pork tenderloins as well as stuffed peppers (stuffed with bread with sundried tomatoes and olives and such) and a potato salad with basil and sundried tomatoes (oil base, not mayo). It was all delicious, if I may say so myself. Black forest cake for dessert.
