If the motion to impeach fails, the Member who launched the motion will be suspended for a period of 120 days for causing undue instability to the Board and for damaging the reputation of the Supreme Adjudicator. Any Member who invokes Rule 12 may withdraw his/her invocation at any time before the day of the scheduled impeachment vote at no penalty. 16.

So am throwing dinner party / white elephant dealie Friday. Feeling a tad overwhelmed with all that needs to be done. Have to go out and get the standing rib roast. It will be a full set....7 ribs, so a monster. Baked potatoes (those are at least easy)....haven't decided on a vege yet. Bread of some sort. For dessert I was going to make chocolate pate. I can't remember all the ingredients off the top of my head, but it make you want to have a heart attack. Butter, chocolate, egg yolks, sugar, whiskey, cream, and a couple other things? Probably should make that no later than tomorrow. Raspberry sauce. Then what for snacks? Nice cheeses, raw oysters on the half shell, meats, olives, pickled herring, baguette, ??? Suggestions? Wine, booze, ..... Oh, horseradish for a dipping sauce for the prime rib....Au jus... Will have to remember to have a glass of water in between each glass of wine.....otherwise will feel like crap the next day. Bleh....... I have this really cute red sparkly hankerchief hemmed dress with spaghetti straps. Some red heels. Need to get new strapless bra. Crap. Tomorrow my daughter is with her father, so that will probably be the best time to do the mega shopping at the store....... I don't think I have enough steak knives. |

I've never thrown a dinner party before, Jane. I'd imagine it can be quite stressful? A dining room is on my wish list for our next home! |

OK....I ditched the idea of the chocolate pate. It had been a while since I made it, and after reading the recipe I just didn't have to energy to do it. Too labor intensive. So made a pecan pie and cheesecake instead. Did major shopping. Still need to find oysters. |

Oh that's right, I remember now! Haha! It's so funny to think of you making Cullen Skink where you live when it originated from a dreary little fishing village not far from where I was born. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1940679/broccoli-and-stilton-soup http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/sausagecasserolewith_82366 Follow the broccoli and stilton one exactly, unless you don't like stilton. You can always use less of it or substitute any cheese you do like that will melt. The sausage one I've used both beef and pork sausages for and they both work well. It's quite thick so you might want to add half a can of water or so. Also it really needs a big handful of fresh basil.
