The Dermatology Department Party
Fancy has asked me what we served when we hosted the derm party. It really couldn't have been simpler and made the party relatively stress free. The only thing that I prepared from scratch was the gravlax which was served with small slices of pumpernickel bread and baguette, along with creme fraiche as a topping. The other things merely needed to be set out: mixed nuts, a variety of olives, four different cheeses, crackers, tapenade, ham, small franchese rolls, and mustard . The ham was Martha Stewart/Niman Ranch from Costco. They have had it the last 2 Christmas's at Costco and it is really good, not too salty. For dessert I picked up four different things from Gayles: individual chocolate peppermint cakes, little mocha mousses in chocolate cups, pecan tassies, and lemon butter snowflake cookies. For drinks we offered San Pellogrino sparkling water, champagne, white and red wine, and beer. I borrowed wine glasses from Martha and had stemless flutes for the champagne. I found great appetizer plates at the Crate and Barrel outlet. It was wonderful not having paper plates and plastic cups.
