O.K. Gang -- Here Goes!

cherandbuster · Post by **cherandbuster** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 8:19 am

I'm attempting a 'classy' dinner party this evening -- it's only for seven people, but I'm hoping they'll walk away saying, "Isn't Cher something! What an incredible evening!"

Here is my menu:

Appetizers: Pesto & cheese triangles, Carmelized onion pizza, Bacon & brown sugar bites, and Anchovy Puffs (what can I say -- I LOVE ANCHOVIES!

)

Dinner:

Potato, Corn & Tomato Chowder

Goat Cheese Salad with Carmelized Pecans and Dried Cranberries

Cornish Game Hens with Elderberry Preserve sauce

Cold Chinese Pasta Salad with Peanut Butter Dressing

Desserts:

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Cream Cheese Squares

White Chocolate Bars

So . . .

Would any of you be at least mildly impressed? :p:-6

The menu is great.............delicious. I'd even try an anchove.

Now..............do we have soft music in the background? Or games after the meal? Or a stroll through the gardens?:)

cars · Post by **cars** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 11:08 am

So there really is still a C&B, and the diner sounds great also! So what kind of wine are you going to serve with that?

Post by **spot** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 11:31 am

Cher, I bet you could put a Cornish Pasty on their plate and a pint of scrumpy in their glass and just being with you would be all the magic they'd need.

I have a recipe for Cornish Pasty if you want. Finding the scrumpy might be harder.

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 11:44 am

Hello darlin:-4

It's great to see you again:-6 Hope you're doing well...miss you.

Your party sounds spectacular...wow, what a menu...

They'll treat you like a queen after this dinner.

Hey you Spot!! What are you saying!! A Cornish pasty is not up to par then??:wah::wah:

And it will not be a traditional cornish pasty if you give Cher the recipe

I truly appreciate all of your kind responses. I've been in the kitchen for the past few hours and was so happy to see your answers to me.

I'd love to feed you all and get you very drunk :p

Carolly, Carla, Kazalala, Kathy Ellen, Choco, Chonsi :-4, Cars, Pink Chick, BSQuared (I didn't forget my nickname for you

), Spot and Along-for-the-Ride: You would all be honored guests at my first virtual dinner party . . .

Galbally, you know you are ALWAYS welcome, don't you? :sneaky:

And as for you, JSQuared, do you come with a warning label? :p

WonderWendy3 · Post by **WonderWendy3** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 1:44 pm

Hey Cher!!

I am very impressed, sure beats the pizza and chicken wings that I serve my guests!!:wah::wah:

It is nice to see you, my sweet friend.

I hope you have a lovely time at your party, that is a lot of hard work, but at the same time it is fun and re-warding, I'm sure they will all say "that Cher is FANTASTIC"!!....If they don't...I need names and addresses for them please!

cherandbuster · Post by **cherandbuster** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 2:05 pm

A big thank you to Jimbo and WCubed -- I love you both :-4

You know, part of the reason I do this every once in awhile is to *push* myself. I get bored easily, and I need to set up new challenges for myself.

It's a really good feeling . . . even if I don't succeed, I'm always glad I tried :guitarist

no no warning label ...

only a heart full of love!

Hello My Friends :-6

I just finished cleaning up (it's pretty close to midnight) and I poured myself a nice drink and sat down in front of my computer

The evening went so well -- I'm happy to say all the effort was very appreciated! Most of the food went home in "doggy bags" , but of course I left some goodies for hubby and me :p How could I not?

Of course, if I had my FGers over, we'll still be partying well into the night :guitarist

(but to be honest, I'm ready to hit the sack :p)

**{don't touch that one, JSquared}**

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 8:31 pm

Well Cher with you and the hostess and the wonderful menu it was bound to be a wonderful evening for all. So glad it was, now get some rest. :yh_flower:yh_flower

Post by **spot** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 8:35 pm

I'm glad you had fun and impressed them Cher, it sounds like a good evening. Did you serve anything to drink alongside it?

Are you kidding? :p

We started with Bloody Marys and shots of Southern Comfort (not for me, though!) and moved on to either Shiraz or Chardonnay. The wine flowed freely and the conversation did as well.

Spot, do you remember the 'picnic' you and Pinky and I shared last year? I have *great* memories of that :p

And Carla, if you were with me, I'd ask you to polish off the unfinished bottles with me -- I just know you wouldn't leave me stranded :-6

You are always welcome at my table

and at my home :-4

Post by **spot** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 9:12 pm

It was a wonderful picnic Cher, days as good as that are very rare. You only have to show up for me and Pinky to hire a punt and get the hamper packed if it's summer, you know we'd love to.

Well done grand chef Cherie I bet your friends can't wait for the next invite

BTW good to see you here again.
