Social at the Innes's

Mike thought that it would be fun to have a social at our house for the young single adults in our branch. They are all around our age and so he thought it would be fun; make a large pot of curry and play some games. It was originally scheduled to be the same weekend that they were working on our bathroom and floor and so it was rescheduled for yesterday, sunday after church. I took off from church ahead of everyone eles to heat up the pot of Indian curry we had made the night before and cook some rice. Mike gathered up all the YSA, 11 in total and took them on the subway to our house. Easier that way then everyone trying to find there way in an unfamiliar city with , for some, an unfamiliar language. As soon as I got home I put the curry on low to reheat while I feed Jada. Not long into Jada's feeding I start to smell something burning. I run into the kitchen and dump the top part of the curry into a bowl, trying to salvage it, but it was too late, the whole thing had a terrible burnt taste. There was no way I was going to serve that so I switched to Chinese curry which is really quick; fry garlic, ginger, marinated chicken, onions and green peppers, then add curry paste, water, soy sauce and cornstarch slurry, your done. Luckily I had the chicken marinating in the fridge overnight and I hadn't added it to the curry yet. They had to wait probably half and hour for food but that's not the end of the world.
It turned out great, everyone had fun playing The great Dalmudy and Monopoly. Mike pad locked the door to the birds cage so that she wouldn't be flying around with everyone there. That little escape artist knows how to open her cage door.
