As his birthday fell on a Friday, we had to go to work first so I decided to forego the cooking and did the dialing instead. I also remembered the lesson learned from the previous dinners - that washing the dishes after a party is a nightmare. We were having three couples over which meant that we could easily use eight sets of tableware so I decided to be smart about it. I painstakingly chose food that will require minimal plates and cutlery.
I ordered mini barbecue from Milky Way, 4 flavors in one pizza from Brooklyn cut into squares, Tostitos right out of a bag and bottled salsa and cheese. The only dish that really required a plate and fork was the Lasagna, which was also from Milky Way.For dessert, I also followed the same principle - minimal tableware. And the solution - cupcakes. My honey celebrated his 38th year and so I ordered 38 cupcakes from Costa Brava, which in my opinion sells the best cupcakes and at reasonable prices at that. Minimum order is 36 pieces or two boxes which you can get for P750 to P800 depending on the flavors. We have tried the white cupcakes (marshmallow icing and butter filling), chocolate, and my favorite caramel cupcakes. If you think that 36 is a lot, wait until you try them. The minimum may not be enough.
It was fun - no fuss food, great talk and most of all, no mountain of dishes to wash when the party's over.
