We are hosting Mark's study group along with their significant other's tomorrow evening for dinner here at our home. We thought it might be a nice opportunity for a bit of socializing outside of working on homework sets...and a chance for them to see 'the life of the old-married-guy (with a bunch of kids)'.
I needed to be a little more deliberate about my preparations for this gathering since I don't have my sous chef (Amy), my florist and interior designer especially for all the details (Meghan), and my server/nanny/run all the errands I don't have time for (Liesse).
Seriously ladies, this party has my feathers ruffled. I am not sure I'll be able to pull it off.
The menu:
Black bean cakes with jalapeño guacomole
Spicy chicken taquitos
Vegetarian southwestern egg rolls with southwestern dip
Shrimp pico de gallo
Queso
Nacho dip
Guacamole
Desserts (not really tex-mex...but delicious anyway!)
Peanut butter pie with hot fudge sauce
Cheesecake with raspberry sauce
Cream cheese and chocolate chip cake
The state of my kitchen:
PS Always schedule things crazy events like this for a Friday evening. It may make the week a little crazy, but having an entire weekend to relax and recover, makes the effort so worth it.
