Eddo’s Huge House Warming Bash 2007

Last weekend I had a huge house-warming party. I had around 70 people show up and at one point the house was full with the couches, chairs and floors overflowing.
So many friends showed up and feasted on my Chipotle Peach Glazed Pork Loin, Spinach Chicken Alfredo Lasgna and my Traditional Fresh Basil Italian Sausage Lasagna.  [...]

It was a NIGHTMARE!

House Buying is HARD

This has been a very complicated, very extreme experience. The house needed some repairs and they had to be done before the closing on Monday. These repairs weren’t mentioned until the appraisal was done on Tuesday and so with less than a week to close and with a Holiday tossed in for good measure and the [...]

I’m closing on the 9th…
