A very warm house

I had my housewarming on Saturday. It's not like the house is all that ready, but it was now or not until after the New Year. So I tidied up (which was actually a boon to me as I dislike having my living space be disorganized. Makes me all cranky.)

I had grand plans of cooking up a storm, but ran out of time, so Trader Joe's 'catered' the event. I had butternut apple soup (served warm out of mugs), mulled cider (also served warm out of mugs), crackers, smoked trout spread (actually-that's from a local provider - Prairie Star, sooo good), three kinds of cheese (gouda, brie, and sharp cheddar), and chocolate-covered peanut-butter-filled pretzles. Add to that beer, rum for the cider, and an assortment of sodas and juices. It turned out to be a nice spread.

Just having people over made the house feel cozy. It was so nice to have friends in. I just wish my far away friends could have been there, too.
