I just concluded my first ever dinner party. And for a girl who thinks that making Hamburger Helper is considered "cooking a real meal", this is a pretty big deal. Everyone just left and I feel like I just have this glow. Like I really accomplished something.
Terrified doesn't even begin to describe how I felt at about 5:30 before everyone came over. I don't know anything about cooking and not only was I working on two recipes I'd never tried before but I also was trying to frantically clean my apartment because I slacked off last night. But it turned out more amazing than I could ever imagine.
It's hard to describe but the only other times I can remember feeling this accomplished and content was when I was quite a bit younger. There's a whole story that needs to be told in order to describe those feelings and how they relate to now but I don't want to get into it. Instead I'm going to revel in my accomplishment and enjoy what's left of my evening. After the last few days I've had tonight was absolutely 100% what I needed.
