[quote=Anonymous]So bummed that Friday's posts were lost. I found it helpful reading them in real time and had planned to come back later for some of the menu suggestions. Anyone reading this now who posted with ideas on Friday, please share again.

This is what I served:

Robust appetizers - cheeses, patés, olives, cornichons, cocktail nuts, grapes, mini mandarins as well as small cups of soup for sipping
Roasted chicken with garlic, lemons, and shallots
Roasted carrots tossed with a bit of orange juice and zest
Toasted couscous tossed with parsley and a bit of lemon zest
Salad with greens, sliced fennel, and bits of citrus
Chocolate olive oil cake with whipped cream and raspberries

Yeah, I know a lot of citrus but more hints than being the central ingredient. I had previously made variations of everything on the list except for the olive oil cake. It was delish, but the recipe notes I read this morning indicated I need to whip it longer than the suggested time to avoid the cake falling a bit in the middle. Well, I've made an olive oil cake before but not a chocolate one.

While we've had outdoor dinner parties since 2021, this was the first time we've had an extended indoor dinner party and I just felt a little stagnant about what to do for a menu. Reading everybody's suggestions following my first post was so helpful for the dinner as well as giving my ideas on what to try to jazz up our family meals.

Thanks again![/quote]
