TASTE BUDS

I initially started this blog as an ode to my culture's emphasis on great food and nutrition. However, I was VERY bad with keeping up with it. So now, it will be about my travels, tastes, and anything else that I feel like projecting into the vast online community for anyone that wants to read :) May it be noted though that food is still and will always continue to be a huge part of my life :)

Eat.Drink.Be Merry: My First Dinner Party!

I finally made one of my dreams come true and hosted my first dinner party! Though 16 were invited, the final count was just 9, plus three late-comers! We had a wonderful time eating, drinking and playing games! I can't wait to keep this tradition each year! Next year, I think I will try for New Years Eve or Valentine's Day.

My party developed a Peppermint theme as I started to plan things :) Here are some pictures from the lovely night!

Red Velvet Cupcakes, Peppermint Shot Glasses, Peppermint M&Ms,  Red and White plates
Homemade Peppermint Sugar Scrub and Snowman Poop Party Favors
As we always do, we ate plenty and drank plenty! A party favorite was my homemade mulled cider!
Mulled Cider: Apple Cider cooked with Oranges, Cloves and Cinnamon, and topped off with Apple Brandy
Afterwards, we had some fun in our "photo booth" with my homemade props and then played Battle of the Sexes. Here are some of the pictures:






It was a perfect evening with amazing friends :) To many more!
