Dinner Party!

[Nomilynn]

Ok.. I've been thinking about this for a LOOONG time now.. here are my people:

Oscar Wilde - because he's fascinating, and I would ask him questions about what it was like while he was in prison

Emily Bronte - I want to know how she got the ideas for Wuthering Heights

My great grandma - I never had a chance to meet her and my mom says she was the most wonderful lady ever

Matt Good - his ideas about politics are really interesting

Judy Blume - my very favourite author ever, and just because it would be really cool to meet her!

For dinner - I have no idea what would be cooking! I would have the party in the Summer, so we could sit outside long into the night without getting cold, so probably something on the bbq. Better yet - I would make it a potluck, so there would be a real variety of foods to share with the ecclectic group!

Nice huh, come to my party - bring your own food!!! LOL

We'll start with a Cava! For appetizer it's got to be Italian Garpaccio. For the main course a huge juicy leg of lam, marinated in garlic, rosemary, lemon, salt and pepper. And lots of red wine! For dessert, I'm not sure (so many choices ) perhaps a good sorbet etc. With the coffee, my homemade chocolade truffles and also my mom's apple cake - and Jamie Olivers' chocolade/nut cake ..... uhmmm!!

Oh, perhaps a selection of Tapas would be better - to fit all! - And if it's summer, there'll be Gazpacho (I just got a new blender)

Did you notice .....no clams!

Wow Randi - I can hop a plane tomorrow, it only takes an hour from Manchester to Denmark!! I'll join you in that tasty repast - if I may. But then again - maybe wait til Summer - I adore Gazpacho!!

PS Oh good no clams!!

Phred! (for good story telling!) (no clams - I promise!)

I bet if Phred has a dinner all he will do is CLEAN OUT HIS FRIDGE!! AND SERVE THOSE KLAMS!!

What will I serve? In one of my cookbooks there is a picture of an outdoor picnic. The picnic table is covered in newspaper and a cloth. Piled on this table are soft shelled crabs. Sitting to the side is lots of ice cold beer. I always thought it would be fun to have that picnic, even though the beer isn't my favorite.

A picnic would make everyone relaxed and you could sit there for hours picking and eating and talking.

one, i have to learn to spell stuff i cook-foccaicia!

two, it is your party gini, you don't HAVE to drink beer

three, those little crab hammers can be used as a weapon....
but it is a dinner party, cooler heads will prevail....

four, a clam/crab bake is the best...no worries about the mess because you can't help it.

Is that anything like..."It's my party and I'll cry if I want to...?"

How boring am I? We're grilling out, a little of anything, to suit everyone, famous or not!!! We'll have some beef and chicken, plus some skewers with seafood and vegetables. We'll grill some beautiful peppers because Scott knows how to do that so well!!! Plus we'll have a big salad with a variety of dressings, fresh bread and lots of wine, of all sorts, to suit everyone, with a ice tea and water for those who don't want the wine. I think it will be a grand party (one I really wish I could have).

boring???????
that's not boring...........you are pretty close to heaven there.....

but you forgot-- clear day, mid 70's, nice breeze, no bugs and
a nice view.......

two, it is your party gini, you don't HAVE to drink beer I had better stick to the beer rather than the apple martini - that way I can remember what everyone has to say

three, those little crab hammers can be used as a weapon....
but it is a dinner party, cooler heads will prevail....unless someone invites Osama

four, a clam/crab bake is the best...no worries about the mess because you can't help it. it is sounding better all of the time

Somehow I doubt that any party with PTers would EVER be boring!!

right above highway one in santa monica.................

sorry guys, hate to do this to you........

there is a small park that runs along a cliff in Santa Monica, next to the beach........on a clear day you can see japan, no just kidding.....the sunsets are absolutely WONDERFUL, you can hear the sun sizzle as the pacific ocean puts it out......that's where I'D have my party......

gini........that's where to have the clam bake!!!!

actually that's the next thread.......five people you'd invite to your beach party.......remember the magic words....bathing suits!

but let's finish this one first!!!!

[RICHARD]

dinner's over
and it's time to get your guests home......except for one.

they have to spend the night! which means a pajama party
with them

who will it be?

[mugsy]

My great grandfather Martin Quinn. I want as much info as I can get on that sneaky snot.

[Barbara]

Feynman. At least he's hetero (Mann and Cage are medium). And Einstein was known for his dedaignment of soap and comb.
Jackie would look so much better in her pajamas then me in mine that it would not be good for my self-esteem.
