w...hi jane,<br /><br />a food post and i almost missed it. <br /><br />will you be grilling that flank steak while guests are there? vegetarians often feel left out if something is grilling and we can't eat it. since you ask...i think you need something a little more substantial for the vegetarians. salads are good but we need something to sink our teeth into. a quiche or a tray of enchiladas or even a hearty soup. your menu really does sound good though and whatever you decide i know will be delish. and it would be a honor to attend and eat anything you prepare.<br /><br />xo<br />janetthe gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198706747529705409.post-48641569123496086242011-05-18T10:23:11.252-04:002011-05-18T10:23:11.252-04:00Pasta AND dandan noodles.

A really simple salad I do sometimes is endive, vv thinly sliced radishes and a grainy-mustard French dressing - really yummy and pretty! Also asparagus is in season and I wonder if you could roast some and add to a salad or have as a side dish.<br /><br />If you wanted something hot for the veggies, Nigel Slater has got the simplest recipe for a mushroom and tallegio flan. Basically just take one of those pre-rolled puff pastry rectangles, prick with a fork all over and score all around 1cm in, and fell inner rectangle with the cheese and sauteed, garlicky sliced mushrooms, a little of the butter you sauteed the mushrooms in, herbs and pepper. Or whatever you like, I have also done a slick of pesto with lots of sauteed peppers and some mozzerella and that was good to.Wack it in a hot oven for 15-20 mins. For a easy pud, is anything simpler and more crowd pleasing than an indecently large bowl of Eton Mess? I always use shop bought meringues and crumble them into the whipped cream and strawbs just before serving.<br /><br />Sorry, you did ask!!
