Anatomy of a Dinner Party: a day in the life of a hospitalityaholic
 

Feeding Men & Tidbits, Too

Written by Patti on June 16th, 2010

Good Morning, Darlings!

Tomorrow night I am feeding a passel of men. Fun! And when feeding men, one must make sure that the food is hearty. Here’s the menu:

Tiny Beef BBQ Sandwiches

Pad Thai with Chicken & Shrimp

Brownie Sundaes with Homemade Caramel Ice Cream

Cocktails & Sapporo Beer

That should leave them full, yes? It is going to be such a good time.  And since the menu has an Asian accent, I am decorating the table accordingly. But I’ll leave that as a surprise for tomorrow. Eric will be cooking up the Pad Thai after I prep the chicken and shrimp (the broccoli and snow peas that go into the dish were bought all prepped). The beef will be shredded and the ice cream and brownies made today for a no-fuss dinner so we can enjoy each other’s company.

As for the tidbits I wanted to share, take a look at these adorable snack plates from CB2. I have the first set of their Oliver Appetizer Plates and these guys are fresh out for the summer. And at $1.95 each, you can buy the entire set, maybe even two sets! The mixed media is so appealing and sure to get saucy conversations started!


The drawings remind me of Shel Silverstein and his children’s books, which I love. Aren’t they adorable?

    Any chance you bought an extra set you are willing to part with? I have been trying to locate these everywhere.
