Housewarming Party: Part B

Last night I had part B of my housewarming party. It was a totally different group of people. We had the representatives of Botswana, Australia, Honduras, Jamaica and USA. Then there was Lydia who has been to all of these places! LOL!

I had soooooooo much fun. There was a lot of good food (besides the food I made). Lydia brought this really good crusty bread with smoked gouda and brie. Lara made this super delicious apple pie that she made from apples she picked with her own hands. We baked the pie at my house, served it with haagen daz vanilla. Hmmm. It's what I will be having for breakfast today! Amy brought a whole pyramid of those really good Ferrero Roche chocolates. The menu was rather...umm...eclectic:

Appetizers:

Bread and cheeses

Fried tofu with cilantro cashew dipping sauce (I had leftover ingredients from Friday)

Salad:

Mix greens with baby greens and romaine.

Entrees:

Because it has been sooo cold I thought it would be the perfect day for some

Turkey chili and cornbread served with jasmine rice

I had more ingredients for thai chicken red curry so we had that too

Dessert:

-More southern comfort cake- always a party pleaser!

-Apple pie with vanilla ice cream

-Chocolate chip cookies

-Chocolate

Drinks:

Wine and make your own cocktail. I made this really good cocktail with mango juice, lychees and passion fruit rum. Mmmm.

I made way too much food! I am always scared that there won't be enough so I over compensate. So everyone got a gladware container full of chili as a parting gift! I was so thankful to Lara and Kele who helped me clean up afterwards. It is so nice to not have to cook and clean up all by myself. Overall a great time was had by all.
