Our first dinner party part deux

So 2 friends baled due too flu, and the other 2 never showed due to a car crash on the way (no injuries - shaken but not stirred). So with a mountain of food, it was us to muppets eating on the coffee table at 10.30pm.

Maybe next time we will have more luck.

Our first dinner party

So we have 4 friends and a bambino coming for dinner. So the menu is nibbles and drinks on arrival, leg of lamb and three veg for main and a pavalova with resh fruit for pudding. I am in charge of nibbles and pudding. I got the receipe from mere and was set to go.

I was adviced against actually making pudding as too much hassle and just to buy something nice. I accepted that decision as i would still need to prep and dress it - therefore i am sill making a contribution.

2 friends and bambino pulled out due to flu. I therefore made the decision to ditch pudding all together.

I am still in charge of nibbles - crisps and olives (with feta bits).

Beau has cleaned the house, dressed the table and will be cooking the dinner.

I feel great making and hosting a dinner party - i could get used to this (do i sound old?).
