So we had Zach's business partner and his wife over for dinner last night. I've been bugging Zach to let me start to entertain, but considering my house is about 1,000 square feet, it turned into "Zach, start letting me entertain 3 people or less".
Holly decided she wanted a Mexican themed cocktail, so I based dinner around that. I spent most of the day cooking and cleaning, so pictures were at a premium, but I did manage to snap a picture of my goat cheese spread before it was gobbled up. If anyone cares for the recipe, let me know.
My menu included: guacamole, salsa, goat cheese spread with cumin, dill, mint, and olive oil and margarita cocktails for starters; chicken thighs with a tomatillo and pepita salsa with jasmine rice and white wine for a main course; and cinnamon profiterols with coffee ice cream and homemade chocolate sauce for dessert.
It went pretty well - I was impressed with my ability to go dinner party with ingredients I've never used before. Another feather in the hat of Melissa, the wanna-be-Barefoot Contessa.
