My Birthday Menu - cjs - 05-20-2010 is now written in stone! I'm throwing myself a big birthday party Saturday and I've been dragging my feet on the menu, probably because like Lorraine, I'm so liable to keep changing it! So, I waited. Well, I'll start cooking for it today - My Birthday Menu Saturday, May 22, 2010 appetizers Kahlua, Faux Champagne, Wine (misc.) & Water Caviar “Pie” ~ Pumpernickel Bread Rounds Meximuffins Spam Musubi Salsa/Inmersiones Cuatro Maneras (for the Norwegians this means Salsa/Dips Four Ways) (Definitive Salsa, Bill & Jane’s Guacamole, Spicy Guacamole & Jane’s Hatch Chile Dip) Cream Cheese with Rhubarb/Raspberry & Apricot/Pineapple Sauce & Cherry Chutney Old Time Lipton’s Onion Soup Dip and Chips entrée Sticky Ribs with Chinese Flavors Surry Hill Beans Onion Gratin L.J.’s Greek Pasta Salad Gil’s Mediterranean Bean Salad Columbia River Cole Slaw Dinner Rolls dessert Chocolate Tapioca Pudding Apricot Pineapple Cobbler Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats Chocolate Kahlua Cake ---- Nothing fancy, just old favorites (to go along with other old.....nevermind ). I probably should not make the Kahlua today if I want any left for Saturday....but, what the hey Re: My Birthday Menu - labradors - 05-20-2010 Quote: For the Spanish-speaking people, it means "sauces/dives (as in swimming) four ways." "Dips," in the culinary sense, would be salsas para mojar or, in the Americas, they often just use the English "dips" or the Spanglish salsas para dippear (the last word of which is NOT a real Spanish word - just a "spanification" of "to dip." Re: My Birthday Menu - cjs - 05-20-2010 Labs, this is a Norwegian trying to translate.....nuff said. (so what do you think of the friggin' menu, huh?) Re: My Birthday Menu - esgunn - 05-20-2010 I think it sounds wonderful. Sorry we are going to miss it!!! Chris keeps asking me to make that Onion Gratin! He'd have me drop everything and go just for that! Have a wonderful birthday. And a great time cooking for it. Re: My Birthday Menu - chef_Tab - 05-20-2010 Sounds like there isn't enough food......just kidding! Are you expecting an army or what? Everything sounds wonderful. Wish I could be there to graze and celebrate with you. Re: My Birthday Menu - Harborwitch - 05-20-2010 I sooooo wish we could be there! The menu sounds so good. Caviar pie - oh my that could almost lure us off the farm.
