I only had about half my day to plan and prepare a dinner party for twelve people. I did not have even one idea yet and I was a little apprehensive.
This was a major deal for us. Not just a regular dinner party,this was a party that included my husband's business partners. This dinner would be a make it or break it deal and I needed to make this dinner work. I knew that not only was my husband's big deal on the line but the new house we had been looking at.
I pictured the layout of all of the rooms with the vision of my plans for each one. I scoured the cookbook for any ideas that I thought would make an elegant presentation, but everything I saw seemed to be cheap and mundane, so I started to worry.
If I served a boring pot roast or mediocre meatloaf, we were going to be in big trouble. I needed something spectacular. As I browsed the pages for inspiration, a lightbulb came on in my head. I needed seafood. Seafood recipes are classy and would be the perfect dish.
As I sat there staring blankly at what seemed to be hundreds of pages of great choices I thought seafood would be awesome. I knew that had to make something great and 'take-out' wasn't an option. I also remembered that there was a local fish market not far away that had everything.
There were all the fish based seafood recipes. I could use cod, or Chilean sea bass. Red snapper and haddock, and all things tripe were other choices. I felt like I could have been on Top Chef.
Of course, an obvious choice to make a good impression would have been a recipe using lobster. However, I noticed that there were some very interesting crab based dishes. I could still make something fabulous with the look and feel of fancy restaurant food that must have been catered. I'm thrilled that I selected a seafood recipe!
The night went without a hitch. It was the best dinner party we had ever thrown. If it hadn't been for the food, I don't think we would have pulled the deal in, and now my husband is making six figures. I'm so glad I choose to look at the seafood recipes. I really think that it saved our life!
