My sister Heather and I are having a garage sale. I love garage sales and I love preparing for one. It gives you an opportunity to clean house and maybe make a little bit of cash. Last night rather than having our typical Tuesday Night Dinner we held a Garage Sale Preparation Party. We combined all our "junk" to prepare for this Saturday. We have a lot of good items, but invited my mother over to comb through all our sale-ables to make sure we were not selling any family heirlooms.
Our family has a tendency to keep a lot of things, which was great for us as we were growing up and starting our own homes. When we first bought our house, after just one weekend of gathering things from my mom, grandparents, aunts and uncles we had almost enough furniture to fill our three bedroom house.
Now that we our more settled we are starting to replace some of the furniture, but noone wants to get rid of it just yet, because someone else might need to fill another house one day... so the attics start filling up with chairs, coffee tables and lamps. Every sale there are inevitably a few pieces that we decide our ready to go that our mom thinks there may be another purpose for. (normally she is right!)
Dave was our chef for the evening. While the girls were busy going through boxes in the garage Dave was at the grill preparing twice baked potatoes and chicken kabobs. Quite a gourmet meal for a garage sale party! I will have to get his recipes to post.

Good luck getting the recipe...I believe it came from a far away country called Ohamha. It was good and probably the most fun I've had getting ready for a garage sale.
