In total, the cost of the night, for 13 people was...astronomically low. If you're on a budget, the best thing to do is to get together with good friends and enjoy a dinner party!
The night began with some good conversation, some football on the tube, and great food, then ended with a round of Scattegories™ and long goodbyes. It was later than usual but it is always worth it.
We all had a great time on Sunday and we look forward to more visitors to Mystery Basket this coming Sunday.
The night was a success. We ate, we drank, we played games...we conquered!
Here is the Menu from Sunday, January 3, 2010:
Hors d'oeuvre: Ricotta Balls. Made with ricotta, chipotle peppers, egg, cinnamon, breadcrumb, and tempura batter, then fried and topped with a honey glaze.
