Come Dine With Me!

I did a Come Dine with me special themed dinner party last Friday, just thought id share it with you guys becuase we had so much fun!
We've already done 2 previously at 2 other friends houses, but this time it was my turn!
So, here’s what happened.

There was me and four of my friends that were there, 2 guys and 2 girls so it was quite a nice crowd of people for a dinner party. I wanted to do something a bit different, something that people would remember, so I went with a 70’s theme dinner party!
I borrowed my sister’s lava lamp and put Abba on in the background. Everything was great! Apart from the abba in background!

I took Linda’s advice (Founder of the company) and made mini little menus for people and little name place mats , both out of card in fancy italic black writing printed from the computer. They were really cute and people loved them so thanks for the inspiration!

Here’s how the menu looked:

Starter
Prawn cocktail
I used giant king prawns so they looked really impressive and were juicier then normal. Everyone loves a good cocktail!

Main Course
Steak Diane, with Buttered new potatoes and buttered asparagus. Went down a treat, especially with the men! One of my favourite dishes of all time.

Dessert
Peach Melba
I did my own easy-peasy version of Peach Melba, inspired by Linda,
She’s a bit of a cooking Guru! Basically, I did the Peach Melba, but slightly cheated with the peach. It was a great success and everyone really enjoyed it!

Oh yeah, and I put four cheeses out before I brought out the dessert. I wasn’t sure if everybody had room for dessert!
I put out a nasty smelly blue one, a sweet wednesdayle one and a Brie! Linda said do not serve the cheese cold, leave it out all-day and I’m glad I did because it was like melt in your mouth style! Absolutely gorgeous I love cheese! We also had a tipple of port, as you do!

Over all it was a great success I feel. Everyone seemed really impressed, I hope they were! Very excited about tonight as its Linda’s turn to wow us. This is the last night unfortunately for everybody, because we have had so much fun doing it!
So we will continue to let you know on Monday who the winner will be and what the outcome of the meal was, as we be voting together, EXCITE!
