Come dine with me

Clare and I decided what we would cook if we were on Come Dine With Me.

CLARE (her words, not mine)
Clares night is set in the run up to Christmas on a snowy day.
Clare's menu:
Starter
Champagne, pretzels and peanuts to welcome the guests followed by a Winter Vegetable soup with home made bread rolls
Main
Quorn mince cottage pie
Desert
Bread and Butter pudding followed by baileys and after eights
Drinks wine and water on the table with a desert wine to be drank with desert.
Entertainment live choir, singing Christmas carols.

LAURA
My night would be a garden party in the summer, I would decorate my garden nicely with fairy lights and candles and things, beautiful.
My menu:
Starter

Olives, pistachio nuts, houmous and pitta bread with champagne to welcome the guests followed by a traditional Gazpacho
Main
Mediterranean vegetables and halloumi skewers on the BBQ with a selection of cous cous, bean and rice salads
Desert
Home made raspberry and lemon sorbets served with fresh fruit and a fruit coulis
Drinks White wine sangria and a bottle of red and white wine on the table at all times.
Entertainment A mix cd with bands like Rodrigo y Gabriela, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, David Bowie, The Pixies, Sufjan Stevens, Modest Mouse, Devendra Banhart, maybe some Fleet Foxes and Ennio Morricone etc etc... When everyone was drunk we could put on some Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Kelly Clarkson and have a massive dance.

I think I may have put a little bit too much thought into this hypothetical dinner party, I really want this to happen now.
