Sissy plans perfection
I had looked at so many possible menus to really come up with something that would knock their socks off. I took the menu ideas to Miss Tarah and she was so happy. She said I am very ambitious! I will be shopping for everything right before I need it to make sure everything is fresh. I even have a secret weapon for that evening thanks to Miss Amber, who will be helping with dessert.
Party menu
After trying some duck liver pâté at a restaurant once, I knew the party would be the perfect place for it. I will have french bread crostini for that and serve prosciutto wrapped figs stuffed with goat cheese as a second appetizer. Miss Amber loved my idea to make Chilean sea bass with miso glaze, french green beans with almonds and my favorite purple cauliflower puree. I was stumped on dessert at first because Miss Tarah loves chocolate but doesn’t want anything heavy. I didn’t want to make the same dessert from the holiday party and had to get Miss Amber’s advice. She offered to take a little pressure off me and whip up one of her favorites, chocolate fudge-filled devils food cupcakes. I thought that cherry coulis would be perfect to top it. If you have never tried making a coulis, you should try it. It is very tasty. Miss Amber had me make a few things for her to taste, like the pâté. She was unsure about making it for the party at first but says it’s a winner.
I’m so excited to be making all of this for Miss Tarah on January 16th. Miss Amber said that if I make an excellent meal that she has a special surprise for me. She already said that I will get a few points for this, too. That is perfect since I have 8 and need only 2 more. Now I just need to decide what I am going to wear while I serve all of this food. Miss Amber’s cupcakes are heaven and I am so glad she offered to bring them. I will share my cherry coulis recipe with all of you next week. I put it on vanilla ice cream for Miss Amber once and she gave me a point just because.
Will report next week how the party went. Miss Tarah doesn’t have a glory hole at her house, but I know that I will have fun anyway.
