The Mad Social Whirl

[chomiji]

Have just returned from back-to-back outdoor social events featuring mass quantities of food. Am covered with sweat, sunscreen, and (on my ankles) bug bites, and am much too well fed.

Party A featured mainly cold foods, including slices of sandwich wraps, salads, cold meats, and fruit, followed by ice cream and very nice lemon poundcake. Party B featured flame-grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, spicy pork ribs, veggie crudites, and potato and cucumber salads, followed by strawberry and peach shortcakes and smillaraaq's very evil chocolate brownies.

I am in a food-induced stupor.

Gosh, yes. That does sound like a lot of food! Enjoyable, though?

Yes, enjoyable, although that was rather a lot of socializing for this introverted crew! But it was in the right order: the graduation party, which had more people (and more we didn't know), was first, and then a lower-key, smaller affair where we'd at least met everyone previously.
