When I started this blog, I was torn between inviting all my
dead grandparents and great-grandparents or inviting people not related to me
(and not necessarily dead) that I would like to meet. So maybe I’ll just do two
lists and menus, and have two imaginary dinner parties!
Family Dinner Party
Grandpa Sigmund
Grandma Sigmund
Great-Grandparents Sigmund
Great-Grandparents Wolthorn
Great-Grandparents Doyle
Great-Grandparents Barnes
I would love to meet all the Great-Grandparents I never got
to know, and spend time asking them questions about their lives. I also would
love one more chance to better get to know the grandparents/Great Grandma that I
did know, but who were taken too soon for my liking!
Menu
Appetiser: Bruschetta with a variety of toppings
Starter: Butternut squash soup with freshly baked bread
(maybe a German rye bread and an Irish soda bread to honour both sides of the
family?)
Main: Beef Wellington with roasted vegetables and roasted
potatoes with garlic and rosemary
Dessert: Carrot Cake with cream cheese frosting, vanilla
bean ice cream on the side
All homemade sans the puff pastry for the Wellington and the
ice cream. I aim to impress. I hope they like it. Haha!
Strangers Dinner Party
William Shakespeare
J.K. Rowling
Marie Antoinette
President Obama
Benedict Cumberbatch
Nelson Mandela
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
William Wallace
Cleopatra
Some of my favourite authors/historical figures/current
people of interest. Who wouldn’t love to see John and Paul back in a room
together? I’ll bet they would make up and re-start the band. And my amazing
party would be to thank for it!
Menu
Appetiser: Baked Camembert
Starter: Salad with blue cheese, grilled apple and pear
slices, and candied pecans
Main: Filet Mignon with roasted asparagus and garlic mashed
potatoes, and a red wine gravy
Dessert: Cowchip cookies ice cream sandwiches. (A cowchip
cookie is massive, and has chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut, and crushed
frosted flakes inside. So yum!)
Again all homemade sans puff pasty. Nobody has time for that
type of homemade shenanigans!
Ok both of these sound like super amazing evenings with
delicious food. Someone best get on task and create a time machine so that I
can actually experience these two distinct, special, and fabulous parties!
Ok now I’m hungry…dinner time!
