Dinner Partay

We are the most fabulous 40-year-old-17-year-olds.

Annie was to eager to eat this before we took the picture, that is why there is a tiny bit of brie gone.

Fancy

At the end of the semester college decisions were coming in and we were in need of some celebrating and some comforting. During an hour of phone call logistics my friends and I planned the perfect get together. First, we would meet up at Goodwill and do some good, old fashioned sweatering. Second, we would drive to Kroger and pick up some foods. Third, we would go home and throw the most kick ass dinner party of the year. It was a grand plan.

While sweatering we were thoroughly entertained by the gems found at Goodwill, and I found the perfect sunday man-sweater.

We managed to meet up at Kroger and proceed to make a dinner plan in the produce section. We (accidentally) bought enough potatoes to keep Idaho in business for another year or two, apples for dessert, salad greens (and reds, and oranges, and yellows), as well as a the fanciest box of soup we could find, Kroger made french bread, and appetizers.

We drove home and thirty minutes later when the stragglers got to my house with the rest of the groceries, we got to work. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong were singing from Pandora and we were hard at work. Right away, we set up a plate of crackers and brie. Then we popped open some sparkling cider (because we are that classy) and danced around the kitchen preparing our meal.

Somehow all five of us managed to peel, chop, stir and mix a great dinner together in a rather short amount of time. It was the potatoes that held us back. Damn them. We ended up having a European style dinner because we started to cook at 7 and sat down to eat near 9:30. Obviously, we ate the entire chunk of brie while cooking to keep us going and to keep the cider from going to out heads.

At dinner we toasted to being the coolest 40 year-old at heart. In the end, the soup was kinda cold and the bread was only Kroger good, but the rest of the food was wonderful and the company was better. 

  

The recipe for my host mom, Sophie’s, fantastic and mindblowingly good roast potatoes coming soon, as well as our very own recipe for Crapple.
