The first course, a rice dish was superbly done.
The second course, a rare fruit known as Olives.
Third course was of course a delightfully spicy tomato dish.
Fourth was a pureed tomato dish.
Fifth the chicken, white meat cooked to a juicy tenderness to die for.
Sixth came a wonderful mild melted cheese
and lastly the crushed tortilla chips.
(hey, 7 ingredients mixed together makes a 7 course meal....right? Hey, if I count the beer it would be an 8 course meal!)
The butler of course is a family heirloom, I got him from my mother-in-law(hunkka-hunkka hubby).
The fine china was the very best K-Mart had to offer. Nothing but the best for my family and guests!
The company was vastly superior to the meal however. The gentle blush of my best friend when I inquired as to when she and her intended would become geographically closer to each other. The sheer look of panic on her intended's face when I broached that subject made for a spirited dinner conversation.
I do have some complaints about the three house boys. They were most unattentive when it came time to clean up the dinner mess. I simply must speak to the management (hunkka-hunkka hubby) about them. Either duct tape or military school is called for to turn around that most undesirable behavior.....
