Buffet Time

The last couple of days have been mad busy for me and she who lives in the Manor!! Party time had come and we'd decided that we'd share the buffet duties. This involved working out how to feed 50plus people. The kids were easy to feed throw em a few cocktail sausages, chicken wings and slices of pizza and they're happy. For the adults we'd decided on some pickages to start with followed by a full meal with sides.  It went something like this:

Picky Things

Prawn Cocktail Lettuce Cups * Salami & Roasted pepper skewers * Bread sticks wrapped in Prosciutto & Serrano Ham * Bruschetta * Homemade Brown Breads

Main Event

Chicken Makhani (Mamta's Kitchen recipe) * Spanish Chicken Stew * Meatballs with Spicy Tomato Sauce * Crispy Layered Potatoes * Basmati Rice * Buttered New Potatoes *

Other kind people brought Apple & Rhubarb tarts, pavlova (which I love but didn't get to taste) and other stuff. The wine was beginning to kick in so I wasn't paying enough attention.

Mrs. Manor had treated herself to a chaffing dish and I performed the dinner lady duties serving the masses. I can't forget Miss C who was a fantastic help and I couldn't have managed without her during the day!! The night and food were a success thankfully. Any night that ends with you singing 'Rio' on Band Hero with your 12 year old nephew on guitar, can't be a bad one!
