I've got honey bee skep napkins that my daughter Sarah gave me, bee napkin holders some of which my brother Barry gave me as well as my friend Debbara, beeswax candles on the table, honeycomb trivets that my friend Julia gave me - I'm all set.
Here's an up close photo of one of the bee skep napkins and the napkin ring:
The menu for tonight is:
Cocktail: Bees Knees made with lavender infused honey simple syrup
Appetizer: Flatbreads with Honey and Thyme
Soup: Carrot Soup with Sesame and Miso (and honey pickled scallions as a garnish)
Entree: Pork Tenderloin (marinated in honey) with Gremolata
Bread: Canadian Buttermilk Honey Rolls
Salad: Leaf lettuce with oranges and avocado with a Champagne Honey Vinaigrette
Dessert: Profiteroles with Honey Lavender Ice Cream
I've served some of these items at previous honey dinners but as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
We had the flatbreads a couple of years ago and the pork last year. I make the rolls every time. I've made the profiteroles for this dinner at least once before.
I'm hoping the guests have fun. I've had a great time getting ready for it.
Your honey dinners are really inspiring! I didn't get a harvest last year and we've used all our other honey up. I can't wait for the next harvest and to get cooking again.
ReplyDeleteI just love your table setting! Those bee napkin rings are wonderful, as is the menu!
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time. Sometimes things go without a hitch and this seemed to. My friend Janice was amazing help.
