I played around on Pinterest and combined some ideas I saw to come up with this menu:
California Chicken Salad in Wonton Cups
Summer fruit platter
Assorted cheeses and crackers
2 California wines, a red and a white
Iced Tazo Green Tea Lemonade
Fancy little shop cookies
I went ahead and assembled the fruit platter and made the chicken salad this afternoon . The crispy wonton cups that will hold the chicken salad won't be baked and filled until tomorrow afternoon. Since the chicken salad is just mixed up in a big bowl right now (and I forgot celery so I'll have to run to the store in the morning and get some to chop and add in) it doesn't look like much, but the fruit platter is pretty:
More tomorrow...
I thought you'd already done your bit as hostess. The mixed salad looks divine.
ReplyDeleteI'm in two book clubs...this is the larger of the two and it's the first time I've hosted this one!
DeleteYes Please, When are we meeting again ?
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip and thehamish
Tonight, 7pm...see you there! :)
DeleteLike Cro, I also thought you'd already hosted the Book Club before.
ReplyDeleteThe fruit platter looks delicious - it would go so well with the muesli I am eating right now :-)
But won't the diced pineapple and melon become a bit dry until tomorrow?
Oh my gosh...I hope the fruit won't be dry! I wrapped the platter very tightly with saran wrap and it's in the refrigerator!
DeleteLooks and sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI wish i was in your book club:)
ReplyDeleteThat would be wonderful!
DeleteGood luck with the book club meeting. I hope the local cops have been informed - just in case there's trouble.
ReplyDeleteThe book clubs here are excuses to drink wine. The books are definitely secondary.
