I am hosting a dinner party on Friday evening and I'm calling it a spring dinner party. Because it is basically still winter, it's not really a spring dinner party but I suppose it was inspired by the longing for spring. When I think of spring, I picture myself strolling through the farmer's market. I can't wait to begin cooking with fresh, local ingredients. Until then, it's to the grocery store I go.
Here is the menu I have planned:
Appetizers
Caprese skewers (cherry tomato, mozzarella and basil on a toothpick with olive oil and balsamic vinegar)
Chive and goat cheese puff pastry wafers
Blue cheese/crackers/pears
Dinner
Spring salad with tangy vinaigrette
Fettucini with peas, asparagus and pancetta
Dessert (TBD)
Strawberry shortcake (store-bought)
or
Buttermilk pudding cakes
or
Strawberry shortcake cookies
