Dine for the Charleston

TO A degree
but the food makes a place.

need lots of info and sources.thx.

Well did you break the tables?

I am having a couple over for dinner soon and need some advice. We have a small house with only a bar, no dining room table. As this is the case, I am serving a more casual meal. I am serving a delicious Taco Soup (which is always a hit) with a salad and tortillas for dipping and cheese, sour cream, etc. In this case, how would I do place settings? Since it’s a bar and casual, I know I do not want anything formal, but I would still like it to be nice. And what should I use for the tortilla chips(at their place setting)? A small bread plate maybe? Also, any other tips(desserts, etc) for making this a nice affair would be appreciated!

No expert, but I can suggest a few things.
Your Mexican dinner party is casual, no two ways about it, so EMBRACE casual. Put your soup in a big, pretty terrine with a decorative ladle. As for the chips, any sort of ramekin or custard cup. If you want to go all Sandra Lee, head to the craft store and pick up some cheap little flower pots. I’m certain you can find something with a SW theme.

As for desert? Something cooling! Serve berries in cantaloupe halves with some sparkling wine poured over and a nice dollop of whipped cream on top. Or just individual bowls of ice cream you can pre-scoop and leave in freezer until you’re ready for them. Dress the ice cream up with some warm, cinnamoned caramel sauce. Hope this helps.

this is a question that has been plagueing me.say there was an anorectic on come dine with me. how would she/he cope?

well they wouldnt go on the show in the first place u dumb ass!

what a retard u are! hopefully one day you’ll be as ill as them and know how it feels to be laughed at!

you really are a loser!

…or can we just walk in and find seats? Do hotels in Nairobi provide shuttles to and from the Carnivore?

Who cares about the cost. You have to go. That restaurant is AMAZING!!! When I lived in Kenya we didn’t have to make reservations but it might help if you do. I just checked a site that said it was $65 US to eat there. That’s flat price with a soup/salad, drink, tons of meat, coffee, and desert. I’d bring extra money just in case though.

Enjoy!

I’d keep it simple but use the best ingredients, all bought locally, organic, etc.

Tomato soup with croutons to start.
Then spag bol with side salad.
Chocolate fudge cake with cream for dessert.

Yum!

lol I love Come Dine With Me!

Starter: Giant Mushroom with chopped tomatoes and melted stilton.

Main: Lamb Shank with Mash, peas and mint gravy

Desert: Key Lime Pie and Cream

A husband and wife were having a fine dining experience at their exclusive country club when this stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big kiss, says she’ll see him later and walks away.

His wife glares at him and says, "Who was that?!"

"Oh," replies the husband, "she’s my mistress."

"Well that’s the last straw," says the wife.

"I’ve had enough, I want a divorce. I am going to hire the most aggressive, meanest divorce lawyer I can find and make your life miserable."

"I can understand that," replies her husband, "but remember, if we get a divorce it will mean no more wintering in Key West, or the Caribbean, no more summers in Tuscany, no more Cadillac STS in the garage, and no more country club, and we’ll have to sell the 26-room house and move to two smaller homes, but the decision is yours."

Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.

"Who’s that with Jim?" asks the wife.

"That’s his mistress," says her husband.

She replies, "Ours is prettier."

You should have paid more attention in class, if something that simple is giving you problems…

I could almost eat the whole of it in just 3-5 bites.

In fine dining restaurants, dinners often consist of many courses made of the finest ingredients. Because those ingredients are the best, the portion that is served to you is equal to the cost of the dish (or dishes if there are many courses).
