Charlie,
I do agonize over these Song Circles. Jacqui is the only one who hears about it which explains her reaction. And Kendall is forever lecturing me on my non-existent budget. You have hit a nerve.

Aside from the hairy salsa which you dredged from the back of the fridge, I don't serve leftovers. And I take no resposibilty for the condition of salsa which appears in legions at odd times. Although there is a piece of beef from New Year's reserved for Clancy in the the freezer (the beef, not Clancy), I hadn't planned on offering it this time.

So, for those who don't know, the buffet consists of hot and cold main courses. This time it will include curry from Tom and Deborah, Italian Chicken from Jacqui. Sausage and peppers with tortellini Alfredo from me. I will have rolls and a salad. There is always a cheese platter with some grapes or strawberries. Doritos were on sale so they will be out there. DO NOT BRING SALSA. I will institute a full body cavity search if anyone refuses to comply.

I haven't thought about dessert. Ususally there is ice cream or chocolates and Jacqui contributes baked apples, cheesecake, etc. There will be wine and beer as well as soft drinks.

No one is "expected" to contribute anything. This is about contributing music. If you would like to, a dessert or wine is always welcome. If you have something you would like as a main course, bring it.

Sunday breakfast will be the usual scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, juice, coffee (brutally strong) and desserts left over from Saturday.

This time, I will need chairs. I can seat about 15 comfortably and we have 21 definites with several maybes.

No apology necessary Charlie.I didn't even see this thread until now. Funny, but I was just looking through Bente's pictures of Seamus Kennedy's concert. There is one of Jacqui. Behind her is an arm and a clenched fist - me agonizing over my guests. Says it all.
