Sometimes you throw a party and you're like, "Hey, it's cool, there's only like 15 people coming and 5 of those people live in my house, so whatevs." But then you realize you're really bad at counting and twice that many real people show up.
Whatevs, man. It's cool.
For the first time ever, I wasn't stressing out about FEEDING THE WORLD and figured it's first come first served, bitches! (Except without the "bitches" part because I truly adore everyone who came to the shindig.)
Anyhow, I really dug the food I made, so here's the menu, in case you want to copy it.
Summer Party Menu for Not-15-People
- Garlic-Onion Burgers (also makes great meatballs)
- Plain Ol' Hot Dogs (requested by the guest of honor)
- Fruit Salad (duh, it's summer and fruit is delicious)
- Potato Chips (duh, it's summer and chips are delicious)
- Caprese Skewers (this isn't the recipe I use, but you get the idea. I throw some balsamic vinegar on them and sometimes add proscuitto. *drool*)
- Cake From A Box, Sort Of (this totally works and is awesome for lazy people)
- "Flourless Torte" (deliciously healthy-ish)
- Strawberry Lemonade (lemonade from a can, strawberries in a blender, mix)
We didn't have any leftovers and I could not have been happier. Because there are too many groceries in there to deal with leftovers, yo.
One year ago: LLLL, the usual- a new baby, Irish Fair, etc.
