Menu thoughts....

Apps by request from Eric:
Shrimp and Remoulade. First time doing it without a grill - let's hope roasting them is ok.
Roasted peppers and goat cheese.

This will remind me of all those parties in Connecticut. It's been a while.

Entree:
John is brining some nice wine, and I have a bottle of Stag's Leap that I got for my birthday so that means beef.

No grill. That means tenderloin with bearnaise sauce. Pricey, but easy to do and perfectly celebratory. Oven roasted potatoes and asparagus.

Dessert: I miss chocolate. And I miss orange and chocolate because Eileen has anaphylactic allergic reactions to oranges. So I haven't made orange chocolate chiffon cake or bunnie's chocolate pie in ages. So I think a chocolate pie is in order.

Michael and Eric are both bringing beer, Eric is brining some vodka and Bill is brining a RISK board - we may decide to reenact Killer Risk from the End of the World Party in 1987. John is brining an air mattress...we'll need it. Five people in my apartment is a lot. But it will be worth it.

Breakfast (assuming we survive the night) I'll do a fritatta - I can prep most of the ingredients the day before and pop it in the oven.

Now - I just have to clean my room. Yikes.
