Dinner parties…..
Yay or nay?
I would say that I love them, but to be honest I don’t really ever attend or host them. Total bummer especially for someone who loves putting little appetizers or finger foods together. On most occasions I create an appetizer just to have my husband and I eat it together with a glass of wine or beer. Not that it’s a bad thing but sometimes I want guests and lots of them.
In fact I think it’s time for a dinner party group. One that will meet every other month and one person will host the dinner and the rest of the people will just attend. That means I would get to entertain and put together some lovely dishes.
My only issue is that sometimes people assume a food blogger will serve fancy, lavish dishes. Some of my appetizers just like this fig, prosciutto and burrata crostini are simple yet elegant. These little appetizer bites take less than 15 minutes to put together and that allows more time for wine or gigglejuice as my friend Lauren would say.
My motto would be, “Serve them good food, but be available to mingle.”
