Lunch
Today was our housewarming/citizenship celebration, so we had no lunch per sé. Along with our guests we noshed on a mix of brie, crackers, hummus, cannellini beans and spinach dip, etc.
- Salted pita chips – $1.99
- Spinach and cannellini beans for the dips – $2.88
- Trader Joes snack – $1.49
- Hummus – $3.99
- Salami – $5.99
- Paté – $4.99
We spend $21.33 – although not everything got served – for our 25 guests. Averaging over 15 guests gives a $1.42 serve.
Dinner
We were going to cook dinner, but a dozen of us carried the party on to a local Italian restaurant.
Our choices were Gnocchi Rosati and Nunny’s Baked Eggplant. Both were serviceable meals, without being outstanding. Like many meals out with friends, it’s about the experience and company.
With tax and tip the average was $21.00 each.
Hat tip to Brian Denny for thinking ahead and bringing a camera to record memories of the party and restaurant.
