Friday Night Party

I was relaxing in front of my computer interacting with my friend, when I received a call from my niece.
She asked if she may come with her fiancee for a sort of Friday Night Party Buffet.
How to say no?
When I make the appetizers I usually make more than I need and freeze some for future use.
It has not been a problem to take out of the freezer the stuffed fried olives, the small pizza and the cheese quiches.
I stuffed some small round panini with ham, Italian sausage and cheese.
I have prepared celery sticks with blue cheese, now I am ready to receive my niece.
Do you like to organize last minutes parties?

@TiarasOceanView The paternal grandfather of my husband was Sicilian. They are coming in about 20 minutes. I think I have to change the plans and eat inside, a thunderstorm is approaching.

Everything looks so good. I have never been asked to organize a last minute party but I guess I could if I had to.

I do not organize parties, just go to them. Care if I crash yours. 
You sound like a cool aunt to do such a nice thing for her.

@crossbones27 I say she is spoiled, but she is a nice young woman. She works hard and take care of her apartment, but she loves to come to see me, because she knows that I spoil her.

@silvermist Yes, I make appetizers when I have time and I freeze them to be ready when I have guests.

@LadyDuck You have a very close relationship with her, and quite often we will jump thru almost any hoop to please someone we love so much, regardless of the time frame involved. I'm like that with our son. I remember him calling us saying he was in town and met up with a few friends and could they come by the house, and of course it always seemed to be near supper time. And it is amazing what tricks we can pull out of our sleeves to please in short order like that, and they must work or the crowd wouldn't return.

We don't have company often and if/when we do its planned in advance. I think you put on a nice little buffer for them!

@AbbyGreenhill Most of the time I do, I only go in panic mode if I forget to pay a bill.

I'm never organized enough to have spur of the minute parties but your appetizers certainly look good. Enjoy your party

@garymarsh6 I was surprised when she told me that they have decided to go there. This is something I would never do, I need a comfortable bed and a private bath with shower, not to mention that food prepared under a tent with not very clean water is not what I would like to try.

@LadyDuck What an adventure though! Lucky her. I think we prefer our luxuries too much to do that Anna!

I never have company anywhere we live so I have never really had a chance to entertain, although I know I would love to!
I hope you enjoy your evening party!
