Some of life's happiest moments are unplanned.
Spontaneous dinner parties are among them.
The other night, rummaging around in the freezer, I found a kielbasa. Now this spicy sausage is something that brings me back to childhood and my Polish grandparents.
Luckily, I had cabbage in the veggie drawer, left over from making stuffed cabbages.
Because potatoes had been on sale, I had two bagfuls of those.
So I popped the kielbasa into boiling water, chopped up the cabbage and put it into hot olive oil, and peeled the potatoes, quartered and boiled them.
Then, I washed and cut up three big fat green peppers and some onions and added them, too, to some hot oil in a frying pan.
Because the cabbage makes the house kind of smelly, I lit a cinnamon orange candle in the hallway.
Called my daughter and her husband.
Would they like to come for a spontaneous Polish dinner?
Oh yes, they would, indeed.
Quick, quick, quick, I set the table with yellow quilted place mats from the Christmas Tree Shops and plunked down blue cobalt plates.
Whoops! Dessert. Aha! I quickly cut up half each of a honeydew melon and a cantaloupe.
In the middle went blackberries and raspberries.
I mixed a couple tablespoons of confectioners sugar with the same amount of boiling water and added some bottled lemon juice. Stirred well and poured over melon.
By this time, the kitchen was a little hot so on went the fan.
Before I knew it, the guests arrived, happy and hungry.
The spontaneous dinner turned out to be a yummy success.

How awesome that you had a spontaneous dinner party. I love the sausage and potatoes and those cobalt blue plates are fab!
Sounds wonderful. Wish I could have come. Blue plates are great and with splash of yellow!
How delicious this sounds!
These days, my husband and I frequently have leftovers for our dinner, so a spontaneous invitation to someone is a rare occurrence.
Love the fruit platter!

You'll have to have a give a way on your 300th blog follower Susan. I would have loved that dinner sans the kielbasa..ha but your settings looked wonderful. I NEVER entertain....just so you'll know..
Well, what a yummy dinner you threw together! I am impressed. I'm not very good at spontaneous dinners. I wish I was better at it.
Love, Linda
Hey girl - wish you would have called me - I love that dinner and your was so pretty - that fruit. Yummy - glad you had the kids over. sandie
I never invite anyone over anymore because that means cleaning and with all the dust of late, I just can't keep up. Every time I wash the tablecloth on the dining table, it is filled with hair from Jingles. She sleeps on the dining chairs and the bench. Last time a friend came over and had corduroy pants on, she got up from the bench and her backside was covered with cat hair. Ugh! Luckily she was a very good friend and didn't mind. Ha! Love those cobalt blue plates. When I ate meat, I would slice smoked sausage, cabbage, onions and potatoes, layer them in a casserole dish, cover with foil and place in the oven. Was a favorite meal of hubby's. Have a great weekend. Tammy
