I was thinking what people do on Friday evenings and an informal dinner party came to my mind.
After a long week of work, a simple Friday night dinner party is a good way to start the week end.
Searching the web I found a web page with nice ideas for Friday dinner parties.
"Friday night is the perfect time to pull out your casual dinner party ideas. Everyone is glad it’s the end of the week and nobody expects gourmet. In fact they probably prefer to come over, kick off their shoes, pour a glass of wine and gather round as you pull together easy dinner party ideas." says the unknown writer
I would suggest an easy menu thinking on what the guess and you like like and will be the easier for you after a long day of work.
Take your shoes off, have a relaxing bath, choose a good music that let you rest and put hands at work.
Order some appetizers from the local store like garlic bread and marinara sauce.
Choose your favorite pizza and one that your guest will enjoy if you know which one is his/her favorite.
Add a personal touch displaying olives, artichokes and a salad to add to your pizza or order a pizza salad. (Don't forget the dressing)
Choose a nice tray to place the pizzas and some matching plates to serve it. Place forks and knives on one the right side of the plates to have everything close at the moment to enjoy your dinner.
Check your refrigerator for a cold white wine, a good beer or a room temperature red wine. Think twice before you choose. Pizza, Calzone or Stromobli are Italian specialties and they all combine with red wine, a wine with good body may match with the dinner but the personal taste is the key. No matter how well the red wine fits the pizza, your guest is who you want to impress and make feel welcome and comfortable so keep some beer and a bottle of white wine in the refrigerator just in case.
Check your cupboard for the correct glasses and find a small table where to set the informal table. Place mats will be the best choice, keep it simple but take care of gathering several candles of different sizes to illuminate and to decorate the table. Don't forget the napkins
Don't forget the dessert, mint ice-cream with chocolate or lemon may be a good cool end for this Friday night party but for those vanilla lovers add some strawberries and the dinner will be completed .
