More weekend food adventures

Feeling intrepid, Bear and I decided to invite his family over for brunch last Sunday. In hindsight, it might've been a cunningly conceived plan to motivate Bear to clean up the bathroom, kitchen, and mow the backyard. heheheheh. And it worked!

We spent all Saturday shopping for food, and then some of Saturday night visiting one of Bear's friends, who was getting engaged. He was so nice! Bear has such nice friends. Anyway i digress, we bought lots of food, then we cooked some of it and prepared some for the next morning. Here is the menu that we sent out, along with the invitations:

Brunch
Choice of Bread Rolls (served with Truffle Butter, Marinated Goats Cheese and Strawberry & Black Pepper Preserves)
Banana, Almond and Chocolate Chip Muffins
Sandwiches – Chicken Tea Salad with Almonds, and Ham, Gruyere & Mustard
Caprese salad (Cherry Tomatoes and Bocconcini) with Basil Vinaigrette
Greek Salad with Grilled Lamb
Smoked Salmon Frittata
Fusilli with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto, Chicken, and Pine Nuts.

Dessert
Fruit Salad with Vanilla Yoghurt
Mango Pudding
Lemon Creme Brulee Tart

Beverages
Fruit Juice
Banana & Strawberry Smoothies
Selection of Tea
