Whew!
Well, it’s over. I held my first ever dinner party, and aside from a little bit of last-minute panicking over the salad (the first batch of noodles burned when I was frying them in the butter), it went fairly smoothly. Somehow, without too many problems, I managed to make up twelve pork chops (with a marinade that I am vaguely proud of - mostly for the sugar which caramelized over the meat giving it a slightly sweet taste), an Asian noodle salad with a homemade dressing, a vegetable stir-fry, and rice.
...And now I have leftovers. I’m going to be eating pork chops for the next 4 or five days, I think.
All in all, though, a rousing success.

I third that. It was a rousing success and you deserve a little medal for "Great First-time Dinner Party Host." I'll see if I can locate one for you. And A+ on those chops, they were delish.
Thanks, to both of you. I wasn't sure if the meat would turn out very well. I've never fixed pork of any kind before, but I thought they turned out acceptably.
So I'm a little late, as I seem to have problems with cookies of both the buttery and virtual kind, but I just wanted to say that your dinner party goes down in my book as one of the best meals I've had in recent memory. And that's praise I don't give lightly. Also keep in mind that I live with homecooking.
Mmmm.... Buttery virtual cookies...
