Ok, so I am giving my first dinner party/get-together in ages (we miss you Stef and Mike). This weekend we are having some friends over and I can't decide what to make. Since cooking is my thing, but it's been a while since I've organized something like this, I need help! I have some ideas of what to make, but I'm not quite sure. Help! Any ideas for side items or other entry suggestions are welcome.
man, if i was not on a lo/no carb diet, i'd go for the fettucini..but potstickers sounds yummy too~!

You can make so many different types of finger-foods, present them really creatively, people don't get really really stuffed and then have a spectacular dessert (and tea, of course!). I think whatever you do will taste great - from your pics the food you make ALWAYS looks good!

Posted by: stef at April 26, 2005 11:44 PMFeeling a little dumb here...what are postickers?
I have never heard of that. I think the fettucini sounds fabulous. That or the lasagna.
I voted for fajitas ... everyone could make their own! That would be fun ... it would get everyone involved in the cooking process! Hope you have fun with your dinner party!

On one end was beef fajita filling, and on the other end was chicken fajita filling. There were flour, cornmeal, sundried tomato, and spinach tortillas (cut in half so you could easily try more than one type)and bowls of cheese, pico di gallo (sp), onions, scalions, guacamole, salsa, sour ceam etc. It was great fun making and trying different fajitas.
