Dinner for 6

prosodicTonight was unexpected. Our one dinner guest turned into four (the more the merrier, I say), and I somehow managed to stretch dinner for 3 into dinner for 6.
Lance's friend showed up just as I was putting the spaghetti in the pot and the garlic bread in the oven. A minute or so later, Lance got a text from another friend, saying that he was coming with his wife and daughter. Lance had invited this guy and he said he didn't think he'd be able to make it, but changed his mind at the last minute.
I wasn't sure I would have enough spaghetti. I cooked all the spaghetti I had. I added a bit of extra sauce to the pan. I put a few more slices of garlic bread in the oven. Just in case that wasn't enough, I pulled out crackers and smoked sausage to go with the cheese plate that was already out.
It somehow managed to be enough. I still don't know how I managed to pull it off. When I started dinner, it looked like it was only enough food for about 3 people.
And I'm also very glad I picked up half a dozen cookies today. It seemed we had the right amount of food. Some cheese and sausage left over, some spaghetti left over, and 6 well-fed people.
