We’re hosting the Minn-StF meeting (which means “party”) at our house this Saturday. Nominally 2pm until late, though in practice few people arrive before 4pm most times.
I’m making split pea soup (non-vegetarian and vegan versions), and Pamela is making bread.
We have cats, confined to the back of the house so the front area is less catty, enough to help allergic people somewhat. They don’t get to shed on the furniture up there. No smoking in the house. Not especially child-proof (delicate / dangerous things somewhat exposed), children welcome under parental supervision.
