the menu.

Right now, I'm thinking of carrot lentil soup as a starter ( [link] ) I've made it before but it's been years. Though I don't like carrots much I really like this soup.

Anyway, then for a main dish I'm thinking chicken piccata (probably this recipe [link] ) with a side of arugula parmesan salad ( [link] )

And here's where I haven't decided - I'm either going to pair it with mushroom risotto (my go-to recipe for that is [link] ) OR making homemade pasta. Probably fettucine noodles. When I moved I found my pasta maker and I haven't used it in AGES.

I'm also contemplating making some kind of ravioli.

My other option is making chicken and dumplings, but I think if I do that I couldn't have the carrot soup as a starter because the chicken and dumplings is basically a soup too.

I also haven't decided on what kind of dessert, I may do a regular birthday cake but I'm going to look at some cookbooks tonight and decide.

I'm so excited, I cannot remember the last time I had a dinner party! Our old place was so packed with crap it was hard to have anyone over.
