Preparations for Caelyn's 21st


I made, at Caelyn's request, a Devils Food Cake and I iced it with Caramel Frosting. I can guarantee a great tasting cake but I am very inept at decorating them. Tomorrow the candles will go on.

I have made a potato salad, a curried green bean and onion salad, a mushroom and sun dried tomato salad.
The Menu is:
Prawn Ring
Boerewors (butcher making it according to my recipe)
T bone steak
Sausages
Roast Chicken drumsticks
Chilli Bites
Garlic Bread
Rolls
Selection of Salads
Cheese biscuits
Devils Food Cake
Traditional Family Fruitcake
Champagne
and Soft Drinks.

Terrie and my Mum have been helping with the preparations thank goodness! There is still a lot to do but the days have been carefully planned so that I can pace my energy so as to get everything done without getting ill. I'm feeling a bit nauseous now, which is always a warning sign. Do I rest for an hour worrying that things won't be ready, or do I push through and risk several weeks/months of relapse?
