UMM UMM FINGER LICKING GOOD FINGER FOODS

I catered a reception to welcome new neighbors in a fabulous communitythis past weekend.  The host of the reception wanted people to mingle and get to know each other in a casual setting, so she and I decided to serve finger foods.  Finger foods are a way people can mingle with each other and fill their bellies while enjoying  small bites.  I put together a menu that was very appetizing while displaying a bit of the community's southern roots.  The guest munched on southern fried chicken sliders, chicken salad sliders, tomato mozzarella and basil bruschetta, stuffed mushrooms, vegetables and cold spinach dip, fruit kabobs, lemon bars, pecan tassies, and pound cake.  Shortly after every ones first small bite, the the finger licking food became the talk of the room.

Sweet Sweet Love

My cousin married his high school sweet heart this pass Saturday September 28, in their hometown of Palm Springs California.  The elegant sit down dinner reception was held at a local golf course later in the evening.  While waiting on the bride and groom to arrive guest feasted on sweet figs stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped with prosciutto, and spinach and cheese stuffed mushrooms with cocktails on the patio.  The tables were decorated with a beautiful floral center pieces and white chocolate covered caramel apples decorated as a bride and dark chocolate for the groom and old fashioned walnut truffles, these sweet chocolate treats also served as keepsakes for the guest.  After the delicious three course dinner guest were served a butter cream wedding cake layered with fresh strawberries and whipped cream frosting.  What a Sweet Sweet way to celebrate a new love.

THE CAKE MADE THE PARTY!!!!!

EARLIER THIS SUMMER I WAS CONTACTED TO HOST A SPECIAL 21ST BIRTHDAY DINNER FOR THE BIRTHDAY GIRL AND 15 FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS.  THE BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY GIRL AND HER FRIENDS WERE COLLEGE STUDENTS AND ARE WORKING ON A VERY TIGHT BUDGET, SO I HAD TO FIND A MEMORABLE RESTAURANT WITH GREAT AMBIANCE BUT NOT EXPENSIVE AT ALL.  I FOUND A BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE RESTAURANT IN THE MIDDLE OF WEST WOOD,CA WITH EXCELLENT DRINKS  AND FOOD AT BLOW OUT PRICES.  AFTER 5 O'CLOCK PM ALL APPETIZERS AND MANY SPECIALTY DRINKS ARE 50% OFF EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.  THE CAKE WAS PERFECT FOR THE OCCASION WHILE DELICIOUS AND VERY INEXPENSIVE.  GUEST WERE INVITED USING
E-VITES WHICH SERVED AS A VERY EFFECTIVE AND INEXPENSIVE INVITATION TO LET YOUR FRIENDS KNOW ABOUT AN EVENT

SECRET OF THE DAY SSSHHH: YOU CAN HAVE CHAMPAGNE TASTE WITH BEER MONEY (you just have to know what you are doing)

TO TOP THE DINNER PARTY OFF WHAT BETTER WAY CAN YOU SAY HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO A BIRTHDAY GIRL THAN CELEBRATING WITH A CUSTOM "CIROC" VODKA CAKE WITH REAL MINI BOTTLES OF LIQUOR.  THE BIRTDAY GIRL HAD HER VERY FIRST LEGAL DRINK AND A TASTY BIRTHDAY CAKE ALL IN ONE SHOT, THEN HER AND HER FRIENDS REALLY GOT THE PARTY STARTED!!!
