That’s Entertainment

 

I was chatting to a friend on the phone while aimlessly rootling (is that a word?) about in the fridge lamenting the fact that I was two ingredients short of a meal when she said, 

'but I've got those going spare - I don't suppose you've got any yoghurt going begging?'

As it happens the answer was 'yes' and we were about to do a swap when an idea popped up..

It sort of grew over the next three days so I've put the notions down in the order they manifested themselves.

Month 5 - Bite 27

We're planning a 'raid your fridge' party. With a couple more phone calls I've established who else has got odds and ends that don't make a complete meal without additions from someone else's stockpile so a dinner party is in order with all of us contributing!

Month 5 - Bite 28

'Ohh a simple, off the cuff party', said one of the planners, 'something we don't have to make a song and dance about.'

Well, that started off another train of thought so.... as we started texting to and fro about what everyone was bringing the idea of further entertainment with no cost developed.

The empty the fridge party has now become 'and bring a song or dance (or musical instrument) event.. nothing fancy, just a laugh between friends who have always been able to 'dance like no one is watching'.

Month 5 - Bite 29

The party has now become an afternoon and evening event - we've all got board/table games lurking in our cupboards with no idea when we last played many of them...

So... following a snacky lunch from our fridges and the prepping for an evening meal, there will be mad games culminating in our dinner plans and that musical entertainment. Very little planning, minimal waste, next to no cost and a great deal of fun!

Can't think what brought partying to mind at all!
