**I love the little dish of vinegar cucumber salad that some Asian restaurants give you when you first sit down. I inhale it and I don't share. This recipe tastes exactly like that! Enjoy! {I found this recipe in the Food Network Magazine Aug/Sept issue.}
Side note: We have all heard about the Hostess with the Mostess. I am just hoping to be the Hostess with the Doing-the-Freakin-Best-I-Can! I have 12-14 people coming to my house this weekend! Yes...I said 12-14. Items checked off my list: The menu has been organized. I purchased a new "vintage" kitchen table from an antique store {$80! a steal!} and accessorized it with chairs from World Market. We bought a bed for our other guest bedroom, decorated it with a lovely bedding set from Macy's. Did I mention that all of this was done in two days?! This week's posts are going to be filled with easy must have recipes from my chosen menu and probably some DIY freebie lists...because I have been making a lot of lists!
