I've sometimes wondered whether it would be acceptable to serve an entire reception meal of just our caterer's hors d'oeuvres. They just released their spring/summer seasonal menu, and I'm drooling. Who can resist these yummy-sounding bites?
- Argentinian corn empanada with chimichurri sauce
- Zucchini beignet topped with a creamy tomato and walnut sauce
- Housemade jalapeno poppers stuffed with goat cheese
- Beef Wellington sliders
- Organic shiitake tarts topped with leek frites
- Chicken cordon bleu lollipop with white wine mustard sauce
- Scallop and bacon bites with a sweet Thai chili
- Crispy rice paper shrimp with miso ginger cream filling
- Sundried tomato and chevre pouches in flaky phyllo
Alas, our entrees are not quite so exciting ... I caved to parental pressure and went with the basic "chicken or beef" options. But it will be good chicken or beef! (I myself may go with the vegetarian option: spring vegetable and goat cheese strudel. No, I'm not a vegetarian, what's your point? ;-) )
