Hello, Good evening and welcome to the best and most musical dinner party ever!
The house is clean and fairylit (as usual), candles flicker making the atmosphere relaxed and perfumed.
The menu is simple but good:
We will be starting with a fruit sorbet to clear the palate, followed by chicken with lemon, lime and ginger, baby herby roast potatoes, mixed salad and freshly cooked bread with butter.
The sweet is home made apple pie with cream, followed by a cheese board and coffee.
And all washed down with a few gallons of Nuit St George.
The guests are starting to arrive - come and meet them with me….
Firstly its my lovely son, Keiron who got me into all this in the first place. Computers, email, blogging and of course this meme.
“Grab a glass of vino KP and enjoy!”
Next, oh look its John Lennon:
“Hi John, thanks for attending - no don’t thank me, all I’ll take in payment is you singing ‘Woman” for me and my guests.”
“Hi Denis - your little task will be to sing ‘Hearts like yours and mine’ for me and ‘Shine Son’ for Keiron”
Note to self - take valium quickly - you know what Denis Locorriere’s voice does to you.
Here we are - Mark Bolan and Justin Hayward have just turned up together - “Welcome boys - my requests are ‘Get it on’ and ‘Forever Autumn’ - grab a glass of wine and tune up your tonsils!”
“Barry McGuire - good to see you - it will be ‘Eve of Destruction’ from you babe - that song says it all.”
“Leo Sayer fantastic we’ll be ‘Dancing the night away later!’
“And last but by no means least - the first guest singer of the evening - it’s Jon Bon Jovi!!! - Take it away Jon - ‘It’s my life’ - it certainly is - and what an evening. ”

I am in good company I see…. And we’re almost certain to annoy the neighbours!!!

It just has to be done my dear!!!

You could have made room for one more! I am insulted….

Ah, poor Grandad, no room at the inn! Dinner sounds fab. Any leftovers? Hmmm? hmmm?

Grandad - You are insulted?? The only time you leave any sort of comment on this site is when you are insulted!!! Be careful or I won’t invite you next time either and you just know you would love a hippy evening, reminiscing and things?
EM - sorry the greedy bunch ate the lot - you are welcome to the recipe though!

I am a very sensitive soul.
Please throw a hippy dinner. I’ll bring a few pounds of my best Home-Grown and we’ll have a great time…?!
September 19th, 2008 at 10:39 am
Sounds good to me - you bring your best home grown and we’ll cook when you arrive.
I love runner beans too!!!
