have more dinner parties

Haven’t had many guests over lately, but I did manage to hold a small tupperware party last week, which went well. There were some cancellations which I was a little disappointed about, but otherwise it was a fun evening.
Also, I now am an expert mini club sandwhich maker, having made 5 platters worth of the things for my friends engagement party.

I invited a couple and their baby over for dinner a week ago. We had baked half-baked rolls, then a chicken and rice dish made in the crockpot for mains, and ended up with a lemon sponge custard thing done in ramekins.

The chicken meal was nice enough, but the chicken was a bit pink despite being cooked properly. Frustrating!

The lemon sponge things ended up looking nothing like the picture in the recipe book, they tasted nice but weren’t spongey on top like they were supposed to be. Next time I try to cook them I’m going to try longer cooking but on a lower temperature.

I would like to get a bigger dining table too, then I can invite more people….
