Ang the Hostess

If there's one thing I've learned from the wedding planning, it's that I love planning. And specifically, I love planning parties.

I suppose the realization of my love of party planning does not come directly from wedding planning. I mentioned before that I planned FSIL Katerina's bridal shower last year. It was an awesome experience, and instilled in me the love of party-planning. Not just big parties, like weddings, but small dinner parties too.

So, I've been super excited about hosting my first real dinner party- the bridesmaid get together I mentioned in a past post. And, though there are probably wedding related things I should be focusing on, I can't help but think about the smaller party only two weeks away.

And so, I recently came up with my rough draft of the menu! Wanna hear? There's 4 rounds to the murder mystery game, and there should be a course to match each one so here it goes:

Cocktails:

Chips & Salsa

Sangria or Porch Swing (still deciding)

Fruity Iced Tea or Unsweetened Iced Tea

Appetizers:

Pigs in a Blanket

Coconut Bread

Empanadas?

Main Course:

Macaroni & Cheese

Stuffed Pork Loin

Baked Regular and Sweet Potatoes

Salad (type TBD)

Dessert:

Homemade Ice Cream (type TBD)

Strawberry Brown Butter Betty's

Coconut Rice Pudding

This party is gonna be off the hook! (Reference to Arrested Development if you've seen the show)
