The Menu:
-antipasto salad including garlic stuffed olives, marinated garbonzo beans, and mushrooms (among other things)
-Tuscan Tortellini Soup (soooo easy to make and it looks like it took hours)
-chicken parmigiana with seared polenta and braised artichokes (that were too lemony)
-gingered shortcake with dried figs and cherries with whipped cream
-pinot noir, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, champagne
The food was all pretty tasty and none of it was too difficult to make. Rachels mom is drunk after 1/2 a glass of wine which made the night even better. Matt said, "You need to come to all of my dinner parties to make them more fun!" She was hilarious. While Rae and I were making dessert, she made Matt hold a "Napkin Folding Class.

Notice the bottles and wine glasses...so much drinking!
Other random pics....
Jeanie & Matt (I think that's what Matt called her when he was drunk at the bar later that night...that's right we still went to TSB night after all this!)
I look like shit because I'd been cooking for 4 hours at this point!
I have no idea what prompted this...Jean looks a bit confused too.
But, why not join it??? Drunk Michelle added a whole new element.
Well, that was the night...
We had a ton of fun and I can't wait to do it again!!!!

Shan - you need to throw your next dinner party for Japan Matty. Just get everyone together and hop on a plane and head over here and we'll all cook something up and get drunk on sake. I'm still enjoying the memory of my saketini on New Year's Eve.
Sounds like a fantastic party! I wish I could have been there. Though I still think that eggplant parm. would have been a better choice (NOT!).
BTW, who were the MN state Dou (not Duo) champions two years in a row?
OH GOD, that food looks so good! When Matt comes back from Japan, we will have to have one hell of a dinner party.
And he can help make the delicious food!
Sigh. Everyone can cook except for Jean.
