My parties aren't complete without lots of...
Food & Drinks
I had to think about small bites that everyone would enjoy and could serve up to (8) people. It was a challenge because I also wanted a variation of cool and warm food... and I had to keep in mind that I would only have about an hour or so after work to get this all together and get dressed!
This is what I came up with. Unfortunately I didn't get a closeup of the little Chocolate-Chunk Shortbread cookies that I ordered from work but I had to mention them because they were all gone the next day!
I thought about making a traditional Caprese salad with the large tomatoes but they are so hard to eat without a fork and knife so I set out the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, and basil leaves with toothpicks for everyone to serve themselves.
I also made the Barefoot Contessa's Provencal Scallops, again. They were a hit, I had to make another batch later that night after the movie!
Homemade hummus is always a hit, thankfully this was the only left overs for us to enjoy the next day. Everything else was completely gone!
Drinks, drinks, and more drinks. I infused some vodka with fresh rosemary and them mixed it with black tea-lemonade, it was so refreshing! We also had cosmo's (duh!), champagne and wine. I set out recipes for different martini's in case there wasn't enough... :)
After the movie, we came back and continued to eat & drink! It was a complete success, honestly I don't know if I liked the movie but I think I'll have to re-watch it.
