Mother's Dinner Party
/
It is often a challenge to find creative gifts for our parents so Sister Ex and I offered our entertaining services. We helped our Mother put together a dinner party and what fun it was to plan and execute.
A rough outline of our menu:
The beginnings of our place cards with the supplies and classes found here.
The beginning of the tablescape
Prosciutto-Wrapped Grilled Shrimp with a Kalamata Aioli
Herbed Goat Cheese Endive Boats with Slivered Beets and Snipped Chives
Pear and Gorgonzola Bruschetta
The kitchen staff enjoyed wine from our favorite Washington Spa- Cave B.
Mother took some time away from the guests to teach Sister Ex and I how to prepare the Risotto.
The ingredients were premeasured just like a cooking show.
The bar wench..
A Creamy Lemon Custard Tart from Macrina Bakery
And of course the guests!
