I'm sure they don't really care about your food. Just you and Austie as people, confidence, the numbers, etc. I'd say Diane's on the right track. Make it simple, but REALLY nice. Presentation is important. Get a couple GREAT wines. Fruit and/or vedgies are a good snacker. The chicken sounds great. Maybe stuffed peppers would go good with it. Rice. Patatos. Spinach. Whatever. A NICE dessert. If you're worrying and stressin' out over the food, it'll be hard for them to get to know you. Just ask yourself, are you Mary or Martha? lol
DianA with an "A", buddy. Or we'll fight...
I forgot.
Oh, isn't that convenient? :P
yea, you're right, but making a fantastic dinner wouldn't HURT. haha
so do you have a wine suggestion for me? In my house we always had Carlo Rossi. Just a nice mid-grade italian wine.
My absolute favorite wine is "Hess", Napa, CA. (I'm drinking some right now)! But it's a little hard to find in PA, sometimes it's in the "high end" section of the "Wine & liquor shoppes". Their cabernet actually needs a little aging to be great, but out of the bottle, their 2004 is very soft, with some sweet undertones. Their chardonnay has a vanilla and peach notes; great for fish and chicken. My brother and sister in law just gave us a bottle of "Amarone", which is italian and was AMAZING. It's about $45/bottle, though, so you might be better off getting a less expensive wine and wowing them with a good champagne with dessert, like veuve cliquo. I swear, people see that orange label and always go "Ooooh..."
I also always had Carlo Rossi in my house... must be an Italian thing haha
haha, yea. I really like it. Thats what I usually have in my house now too.
haha... Jahanna, nice job on carrying along the Italian tradition haha
russian river valley pinor noir. yum.
r = t
There's like 80 different wineries in that valley. More specific info?
i'll try to track down the one i had. i forget the name.
I made a call! MacMurray Ranch and Toad Hollow. Great stuff.
Oh... someone actually gave us a bottle of that, but we haven't drunk it yet. Maybe we'll break it out.
