This afternoon, we had 29 people over for supper. I was unsure of what to cook for so many people, and finally decided on chili. (otherwise known as frito pie.) It was very crowded--I and some others actually ate standing up. Also, it was extremely loud. There were at least 8 kids under the age of 12, at least 6 teenagers, and the rest were adults. Even though it's a lot of work and some stress to have a houseful of company, I always really enjoy it. When the kiddos got too loud, I mentioned the swingset. You never saw kids run out of the door so quickly! Sarah and Kevin always have the time of their lives when there are other kids to play with!
I cooked 10 pounds of ground beef, and then added the beans and tomatoes, etc. to that. Well, it turns out that we had a fair amount of leftovers. I sent some home with one of the families. Tomorrow, I've invited my in-laws over for lunch so we can eat some of the leftovers with them. Lots of fun!
Chili, anyone?
