having fun

My wife's father is married to a young woman named Michelle. She's got a little boy named Brent. He's having a party today to celebrate his birthday. Alex and Jeanne went over there while I stayed home with Brian. While they're gone, I'll be getting dinner started. We're having cornish game hens, mashed potatoes and stuffing with gravy. My job is to get the hens ready. I'll clean them all off, then stuff them with one garlic clove and some onions. They'll go in a nine-by-thirteen pan and placed in the oven at 350F for about an hour and a half. Jeanne will be home after 4:30 maybe and will get the potatoes mashed after 5:30 or so. This should be exciting. Oh yes, I need to baste the chickens with a mixture of olive oil and some herbs.
