Guests at breakfast

It can be surprising if we make arrangements to host guests at breakfast.  They agree to arrive at an early hour of our day.  We planned to seat them at our dining room table.  Lynn decided on quiche and she needed a Pillsbury piecrust for it.  I went to our usual grocery store, since it was the closest one.  I was directed to the pie crusts section near the milk. I looked and looked.  Croissants, biscuits, muffins but no pie crusts.  I looked some more.  I phoned Lynn: No, she needs PIE Crusts.  I drove to the next closest store.  Found the cooler with two boxes of just what Lynn specified.  Bought one.


Sometimes when she has a bothered night, she sleeps late.  Guests planned to arrive at 8 AM.  We are usually awake and ready to go by 6-6:30.  She wanted the house and the greeting to be all just right.  So, be sure she is awake by 6:30 at the latest.  We were both up and moving by then.  Ok, He Brews says the Bible so I better make coffee.  I realized our normal amount would probably be insufficient.  I made extra but after it was brewing, I realized I had made the regular pot with extra water but not extra grounds.  Not likely to be good.  Stopped the brewing and tossed the wrong stuff.  Restarted the regular pot with the right water and grounds.


All set when the doorbell rang at 8.  Whew!  Whole visit was fun!
