suzy gets ambitious

the proposed menu (proposed by myself, i should specify) for making over the weekend (since i don't have much time to cook during the week):

-purple mashed potatoes - no food coloring involved
-marinated chicken breasts with accompanying vegetable
-crab cakes italiano - my husband demands them on a regular basis now
-ruth's mushroom soup - i demand this on a regular basis now
-green bean casserole - a favorite from my husband's childhood
-rosemary potatoes - a mutual favorite

and, due to time restraints, these will all have to be cooked saturday afternoon or sometime on sunday.

am i insane? probably! but the thing that makes me feel like this is at all doable in the first place is

a) i am already familiar with four out of the six recipes
b) two require almost no prep and another almost no cook time
c) almost (note: almost) all of the recipes i've made recently have turned out well

so! stay tuned for updates. will suzy sink under the weight of her own ambition? will her tiny convection/microwave oven refuse to work past recipe number three? will her two pans stand up to the task of being used in almost every recipe?
