May - Mexican Night

May 11th

MY FAVOUTITE NIGHT SO FAR

As you can see from my statement above, I love Mexican food, although I must say that when you actually go to Mexico, the food tastes no where near as good as our westernised version. Tex Mex.

 

 

Now, not only was the food a talking point at this party but also the outfits. Everyone got in the spirit of things and tried to go a little MEXICAN. I brought my sombrero that I have had in my cupboard for the past 10 years just waiting for this day.

 

    

 

 

 

A great night was had by all .............................................

 

 

 

 

 

but some of us didn't quite make it to the end.

 

 



April - Seafood Night

April 13th

Now this has to go down as one of the best food night that we have had so far. The food was amazing, if there was a better word to use than amazing then I would use it.

We started out with, seafood chowder, seafood dip, prawns, scallops, prawn subs and crabs.

The best dish of the night

 

 



The kids filled up on prawn crackers
and left over easter eggs and spent
their energy in the gym.

 

As if that wasn't enough and we weren't all full already, the mains came out. There was fiduela,
asparagus bake and a fettuccini carbonara.

 

March - Cowboys & Indians

March 9th

Now I must admit this one was more about the dress up and the drinking than the food. It was my besties birthday party and was quite a lavish affair with dress up theme and a live band performing on the night.

 

This is not food I hear you say but as stated in previous statement this party was more about the outfits than the food and the above photos shows how good the outfits really were. We did have food but alas I was more interested in the costumes and the live band that was playing, so much so that I don't even remember what food was served.

 

 

 

 
 

 
 

Enjoying the campfire




Then all that was left to do was to dance the night away

February - Thai Night

February 23rd

I must say this was one of the largest displays of food that we have had so far. Asian food is not my favourite food so I was not looking forward to this theme as much as others but I was quite impressed by all the food on display and you must agree (by looking at the above photo) that the display was wonderfully Thai looking.

 

The food was amazing and varied and many dishes that I had not heard of before.

January - Australian Night

January 26th

WOW what a night that was and I'm not talking about the food. We had a severe weather storm and even has 2 tornados hit surrounding suburbs. I had a huge Australian evening planned and even had a cricket game scheduled for 3pm but alas it all had to be cancelled.

I did have a couple of friends come anyway and we made what we could of it so there was still some great food eaten and a few beverages consumed.

December - Christmas Drinks

 

December 22nd

 

 

What a night (what I can remeber of it). We decided to skip the themed dinner this month and go out for drinks instead without the kids, I believe a great night was had by all but not something I could go back to on a regular basis (well, maybe I could if I stayed off the bundy).

More themed dinners are planned for the coming year, stay tuned.

November - Indian Night

 

November 24th

 

CURRY CURRY & MORE CURRY

 

 

 

 

 

Wow what a great night we had, the curries were varied and hot hot hot.
Met many new people and a few old ones lol. Although having hot curry on a warm night may not seem ideal, it was perfect because we were inside with the air conditioning on and we sat in comfort and enjoyed our various types of curries.
