What a fantastic meal. Here are some photos:
The table.
Place setting close-up. Very simple.
I know, not very green of me. But we like paper napkins. And I hate laundry. All cleaning, really.
Centerpiece. I probably should have added a taper. Oh, well. Hindsight.
Appetizer--Roasted Feta recipe I saw on MattBites.
Divine. I served it with thinly sliced tart apples and sliced good italian bread. I forgot to sprinkle it with pepper before serving--and we didn't miss it. I only ate it on the apples and I thought it was a delightful taste--tart, salty, sweet, crispy, creamy.
Chicken and Broccoli Penne Alfredo with Proscuitto and Salad.
I'll post the pasta recipe a bit later today. The recipe and procedure for the polenta triangles will come next week.
Dessert Crepes.
This was my plate--there were several filling and topping options. Our guests seemed to enjoy creating different combinations. Note that these crepes were completely flourless--I'll be posting the recipe for this soon.
After our guests left, we let Thundercat back in the house. She found the balloon.
I'm a little disturbed seeing how high she can actually jump. A good four feet straight into the air.

Having had the pleasure of ingesting the food pictured above, just wanted to add that everything was delicious and my wife and I had a great time. Also, great picture of Thundercat.
Thanks, Kevin. We enjoyed the evening immensely--and of course you must know I enjoy the entire process of planning, prepping and cooking a meal for guests. I loved feeding you both!
WHAT a cat!
I KNOW! We're peeing ourselves over here--she's been doing that ALL DAY LONG. The balloon has no chance.
No chance.
What a nice place-setting! I love the roses in the glasses. Looks like you had a wonderful time!
Whoa! That Thundercat can really jump! Great photo...
Thanks, Lu. I love the way the roses in the glasses looks--and they're still going strong. A pinch of sugar in the water does the trick every time.
And Thundercat is scary good at jumping. We forgot to put the balloon behind a closed door last night and she got it and destroyed it while we slept. I think she sucked out the helium.
Oh my gosh... that photo of your cat cracks me up! Wow - what a great capture!
She's a card, Kristen, that's for sure. I actually got several shots of her leaping through the air after that balloon.
Thanks for stopping in.
