The Inlaws are Coming! The Inlaws are Coming!

Yes, the Inlaws are coming to spend the weekend with us.  This is a good thing...my inlaws are not the evil, stereotypical inlaws, they are nice and I love them!  I was very worried that I'd end up with EVIL inlaws.  I was living in Germany, Jeff was in Georgia and we flew to Maine to get married (almost 15 years ago!)  I met Jeff's family the day before we got married...Leonard, Helen, brother Steve and sister Julie flew in the day before and Jeff's grandparents drove (from Iowa...it took 5 days of driving for them to get to Maine!)  Right before I left Germany, I watched some talk show...Sally Jessy, Oprah, Maury (this was before Maury was all about finding the right baby-daddy) ... anyways, it was about EVIL inlaws.  I was afraid I would end up with EVIL inlaws...however that wasn't the case...they're great!

Soooo...with Leonard and Helen coming into town, I have a menu planned for the weekend.  I'm trying new recipes (one is in the crock pot now!) as well as tried and true ones.
