#3 reason to love pete : he is so loyalThis is what I am thinking about serving....
what do you think?
the menu:
a fun drink to start
don't know what to do here - help!
a cheese plate
because cheese is my ultimate weakness
crab bisque
I think I can make the base of the bisque a day or 2 ahead and add the crab and
the cognac the day of or that night. I need to try this one first.
a classic bistro main
beef fillet
maybe a horseradish cream sauce to the side
maybe a small sliver of a savory tart like onion
I can do the crust a day ahead and have the onion ready to go too. A heat and serve dish.
or
scalloped butternut squash and leeks
my sister-n-laws recipe - it's awesome!
now something green, salad, asparagus hmmm
Something easy and simple.
dessert
flourless chocolate cake with whipped cream - yum!
...................
I know it is going to be fun. Here are a few pics of the fun napkins that I got at the flea market and some of the other decorations I have in mind. It is getting closer!

i think i will drape one over each chair

o.m.g...that's going to be one remembered dinner, dear!
the menu sounds heaven to me. funny though that you have the cheese before starter! we have it before dessert in France!
and the Greyhound sounds lovely...

Love the idea - I might just have to switch that cheese board around. Thanks for the idea. I love to serve cheese and chocolates at the end if I am not making a dessert. Well basically I just love cheese!
CHEERS!
