Party Stats
First guest arrived: 7:30 pm
Number of Guests: 19
Culinary Concoctions Served: 11
Number of fights over sustainably-raised cattle that nearly came to fisticuffs: 1
Last guest departed: 2:15 am (was also the first guest and had one arm in a cast from shoulder to finger. What a trooper!)
After a couple of last-minute cancellations and finding myself behind schedule, I scaled back the menu and kept it to canapes and cocktails, followed by 4 appetizers, a noodle bar with three sauce choices, and two desserts. Here is a PDF file of the menu with recipes.
