I hosted family dinner tonight for the first time ever! It was going to be at Steve & Mary's at first but since we were missing 4 people, I had room (barely) to fit everyone for a change.
Led to a very busy day but it was worth it because 1) it was a great meal (more details below) and 2) my apartment is now pretty clean for a change (though I hope to make this more regular ... I will get into details why in another post at some point).
Breakdown of dinner:
- The Pioneer Woman's Burgundy Mushrooms. With a lot of changes made because I eventually added mussels to them and so wanted a milder, more seafood taste (so I scrapped the Bullion cubs and used lobster broth instead of just boiling water). Still amazing, these are possibly the best mushrooms in the world.
- Roasted potatoes with garlic.
- Delicious spinach, almond, and strawberry salad that Steve and Mary brought.
- Homemade rosemary parmesan buns.
- Apple and cranberry crisp.
All and all, a very good night. Except for the fact that after a day of getting caught up with dishes, I now have a whole new bunch of dirty ones.
