This just in from Wisconsin, Cindy, soon to be a world reknown photographer after her training at The Milwaukee Technical Institute, held her first-ever dinner party last night. Turns out it was a smashing success! Six hours of cooking, alone, for a picky group of eaters, who brought children (wisely, Cindy had Mac and cheese for the kids, she's more than just another pretty face). I didn't make my first dinner party for 10 people plus their kids. Nor the second. The following was the menu:
Salad:Standard
Soup: Butternut Squash Soup
Main: Chicken with Red Potatoes & Asparagus
Sides:Savory Bread Pudding (involves broccoli)
Sauteed zucchini, squash & onions
Penne in creamy garlic sauce
Dessert:Bumbleberry Delight (Angel food cake with a warm berry sauce)
Turned out that it was a smashing success. Cindy has some leftovers. You can read about how to get some at her site. In the meantime, Cindy, you also The Man.
Mmm. That menu sounds SO good.
ReplyDeletePenii pasta. Stop it. I was just getting over this. A million kinds of pasta in the world and you choose penii.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe called for penne, I used penne. Maybe I should have tried the curly-q kind..
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I didn't even make the macaroni & cheese for the kids. They ate chicken, with some whipped cream for dessert.
penii is not pasta

A joke over my head. I've been entirely too literal lately.
