That sounds like the most delicious thing I can imagine. I have the address, by the way, so we will get the grill on its way!

Apparently there is a rule of thumb that says don't serve oysters in months that don't have an "r" in them so we will pick something else. Maybe cheese and fruit platters or chicken satay.

Interesting. Why is that a rule?

I believe its a rule because they are not available for harvest during non r months, maybe they are spawning or doing what ever they do. Otherwise menu sounds wonderful, if ambitious! Give me an assignment, I am happy to help.

I say let's add a couple of cool things in case it is ninety, and some chocolate because how are we supposed to have a party with no chocolate?? But we don't have to grill it. We could always make the cheesecake filling, roll it into balls, freeze them, and dip them in chocolate for cheesecake lollipops. Those were yummy at the last wedding...
ReplyDeleteThe menu sounds excellent! I will bring all of the fresh herbs you can use. I will also have an abundance of tomatoes, basil and eggplant. I have a few salads in mind.
ReplyDeleteI also have tones of chocolate mint...it is amazing and I think we could make mojitos with it. Rum, lemon water ice, and chocolate mint, oh baby!
