Saturday night dinner party

Every since me and Carola moved in together in November last year, we've only had a few people around for one evening for a house warming. The house warming was just me, Carola and about 6 others having plenty of beer and wine and a few snacks. There were 2 people (Reetta and Joe) who could not make it and they are the lucky ones to have a special invite to our house this Saturday night for a 3 course meal. I guess this is our first meal we will have cooked for guests since settling in. This is very exciting for us as we both used to live in small one room apartments with no room to have any guests round and make them feel comfortable. This is much nicer now as there is a spare bed for them to sleep in if needed and we have a dining table and many other luxuries that we did not have previously.  

So this is what we are serving up to our lucky guests and yes there will be a little garlic and chilli in some parts of the recipes:-

Appetizer
Lobster Cocktail - Fresh lobster mixed with raw salsa, avocado, shredded lettuce and a lightly spiced home made seafood sauce.

Main Course
Fillet Steak with Red Wine Jus - The very best cooked fillet steak with a generous drizzle of red wine reduction served with hasselback potatoes, creamy mixed organic mushrooms and steamed broccoli.

Dessert
Chocolate Brownie, Vanilla Ice-cream with Fresh Cherries - Chocolate Brownie served up with some quality vanilla ice-cream and fresh cherries.    

O.k let’s see how Saturday night goes. I will report back with the recipes and some photos and hopefully some good stories.
