Supper Club - Done

This evening I hosted supper club for the very first time in my new apartment.  I so stealthily worked my turn into being the week before the 4th of July because I just love a good theme :-). I am sure it comes as a huge shock to everyone (or maybe the 2 of you reading this) that I enjoy throwing a party.  I love everything that goes into it.  And I especially love setting a table. Who cares if the food tastes good right?  At least the setting looks delicious.  That was to be my motto. But I think that the food turned out alright as well...I hope.  I didn't really notice just how OCD my planning was until I later looked at my instruction list that I had written...it included a portion that read "take chicken out of fridge."  Really? I couldn't figure that part out.  Probably not.


I did discover some delicious beverages at World Market that fit into my summery theme quite nicely.  You'll see them in the last pictures.  You can't really see the one in the brown holder, but it's called sparkling lemonade.  It's non-alcoholic and probably is the most refreshing drink for summer.  We also mixed it with sweet tea which turned out nicely.  I'm sure it would also mix well with other alcohols if you prefer.  For the alcoholic side of things, try Olde Savannah sweet tea. Some of you might have tried Firefly, which is delicious but also expensive.  This is a a much cheaper version at $6.99 per bottle.  It's also good on the rocks with lemon or mixed with the sparkling lemonade in the previous mention. 


The sunflowers were from Whole Foods. They are so gigantic that they don't even look real, but I added the little red buds for a some extra color.   So here is my feeble first attempt at doing something domestic.
