Martha Stewart Called. . .

Yesterday was a whirlwind getting ready for our out of town guests, which explains the lack of posting. My husband is Persian, as is his best friend & wife, who will be staying with us for the weekend. Persians are huge on entertaining, so it's either go big, or go home. Here's how the day played out:

• Took Nick to school, took Sam to a hearing check
• Trader Joe's to pick up last minute supplies
• Dropped Sam off at school, hit up the gym.
• Ellipticaled (is that a word?) for 30 minutes until my foot started to hurt.
• Home - shower/picked up the house
• Mall - purchased Michael's birthday present & part of his Father's Day present for next week.
• Home for lunch- scarfed part of my salad. Left for Sam's preschool graduation.
• Graduation - tears were shed, many pictures were taken. Coming soon.
• Home - boys played in the backyard while I prepped the food for the weekend.
• I made - goat cheese spread for a crostini appetizer
• Then, cranberry & pistachio biscotti
• I also made - blueberry muffins
• And, white Italian birthday cake cupcakes
• Plus dark chocolate butter cream frosting
• Currant & toasted almond scones
• Curried cashew chicken salad for lunch today
• Prepped all of the fruit and vegetables
• And, a few other things I can't remember. :-)

My foot is sore from being up & about all day. I need to get the preschool graduation pictures off of the other camera, but there are some adorable shots!

I think Martha Stewart is jealous. :-) What are your big weekend plans? Best entertaining recipe?
