The Dinner Party

Me and Rakel held a pretty unusual dinner party the other day for my classmates at the chiropractor collage. It all started when someone at class suggested that I should cook dinner for all of my friends and they would pinch in for the cost...........and I say´d " sure why not". It is my hobby to roam around in the kitchen to find new and exciting ideas for recipes and future dinner parties, so it would be absolutely perfect for me. I had 2 weeks to come up with a menu and I landed on a 6 course dinner. As some of my friends know, I tend to go a bit overboard when it comes to dinner parties, so the day before I finaly decited on a 10 course dinner with wine and everything.....úffff. We started with the first course at 8:00 in the evening and the last course was served at 2:00 at night.......and I didn´t sit down the entire time. It was fun decorating every plate as we served our 10 guests, but I will probably never do a 10 course dinner party ever again......too much work for one day. But it was all worth it becouse the guests where so happy with everything, even the icelandic rotten shark meat and the brennivín snaps that they also got to try . I really have to thank my dear friend and classmate Marius Johannesson who took all the beautiful photos of the food that night and also thank all my friends and classmates who came and where brave enough to be apart of that special evening.
