A Dinner Party

On the weekend we had some good friends over for dinner. We had a curry night which we had been meaning to do for ages. It was a great night and I loved having a night off from the cooking and leaving it to my husband Simon (I just made dessert). I love the opportunity to entertain friends it is such a great way to all catch up together.

I love the creative part of setting the table and deciding how to lay it all out. It is one of the best parts of the planning for me. I decided to use small flowers cut down and out into small glasses for the centre of the table tonight. It was really easy and adds a nice touch.

See cute flowers-

So for dinner we had Rogan Josh curry with Jasmine rice and homemade Naan bread, Roti and Papadums. Dessert was chocolate fudge (I will be posting the very rich recipe for this during the week) and Mars Bar slice. Both we very yummy and you really only need 1-2 pieces as they are so rich.
We made some great cocktails here is one of them -

Ingredients-

Passion fruit syrup

Cranberry juice

Crushed ice

Bacardi

We didn't really measure anything we just made it to taste but it about 30mls of Bacardi, 2 tbs passion fruit syrup and then the rest in cranberry juice. Shaken in a mixer then pour into glasses with ice. Yum!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend !!
