Chops Away!

We're having people round tomorrow. this is a first for us in a long time, as, because of the rate we move, socialising generally necessitates the purchasing of spare plates and several pieces of furniture.

I am doing an Indian Feast. Slightly scuppered by the fact that I can't find any lamb ("Well, I give give you these two chops") for a lamb spinach dish, and also that there seems to be very few Indian shops where I get get the pudding from (Gulab Jamun). I've had to use beef instead - which doesn't have quite the same texture, and I'll also do chicken biryani, tandoori (without the lurid food colouring), tomato prawn-y thingy, and something with a rather sad aubergine I discovered in the salad drawer.

I've also got a few bottles of wine (2 expensive ones, then the rest tapering off as the evening wears on), and Indian beer.

Slightly concerned that there will also be about 8 children, who will have to sit in the West Wing on the floor with pizza.

I may send bridgjo off to Ikea first thing....
