DRINKY DRINKIES:
LIST DRINK IDEAS HERE:
* wine (WHAT KIND?)
one case of red and 1/2 case of white. lots of people..
* beer
%should we ask people to bring some beer on the invite?
* cocktails (LIST):
I got:
Grand ma
Van. Stolies
Kettle one
Stolies
lime juice
chambord
bitters
creme de menthe: from last year!
Tanqueray gin
I'm not sure if 1 bottle of gin will do, so maybe I will get a second?
LImes
Lemons
Cherries
Olives
orange twists? and lemon twists?
other garnishes?
Mommas got all the glassware we need, plus we got one case of mixers, like tonic, club soda, ginger ale, i think those are the three.
I'm workin on her to clean out some of her freezer so we can have some room for a couple of bags of ice, and hopefully we can keep a cooler of ice in the laundry room and an Ice bucket out on the bar.
People!
HOw many people so we al expect to come?
We have got a lot of yes' from our family, and momma has invited her friends, and so have I.
HOw about you aimee?! Beth?
Just give us a figure, that way we know that we will have enough food and alcohol.
I hope you all will add to the food list, and take out or change what is listed. That way it will be a party we put together, together!
this is great! good list!
i say yes to chocolate wontons, and maybe some cabbagy/shrimpy ones too. i make a badass tuna/caper philo dough puff pastry thang. we will have to have yummy dipping sauces for them.
for the hearts, shrimp salad is good. i am thinking, though, that we will want some thick pureed piped fillings for the others. how does that sound? alinea used to do this. not any longer. there's a pic of them here: http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=66997 posted by "yellow truffle" May 6 2005 at 4:45pm "4." HEART OF PALM in five sections
i wanna do this (don't need five sections, though).
what else? yes! two philo things. since we're doing this, and also the fondue, we might not wanna do wontons. whatdoyou think?
crb cakes sound awesome. plus sauce!
and yes. cheese and some basic fruits (apples, things not totally outta season that can go with fondue too). and deserts are great!
do we have a menu????
