So What Should I Make?

[James R.]

Aight so some of you may know that I'm throwing a party on May 16th. Well while that's all fine and dandy I'm gonna need smtn to do before then, so I thought since that was gonna be the raunchy start to the summer I'd end the college school year on a slightly classier note and I'm throwing a little (like only 5-10 people) dinner party. The kicker though is that I'm going to cook everything (because I'm ill like that ya feel?) but I have no idea what to cook.

So this is set to go down May 2nd giving 22 days to get everything in order, but I really need help deciding what to make. It's gonna be 2 guys, 2 friends, and 1-6 girls I'll need to impress, so drop everything from burgers to pasta to salad to soup to whatever you can think of. Provide recipes if possible, and don't hold back. I'm thinking that since I'm trying to impress a few girls I'll do an appetizer then the main course, so yeah that's what I'm going for.

Also lemme know your thoughts on the vibe. I mean should it be a really partyish kinda vibe with music and a little dancing or should I keep it more laid back and chill? Shit I'll even break out scatergories and get loose on the hasbro games. Lemme know mufukkaz

Oh and I'm really not lying about the cooking. I get it poppin in the kitchen like too hot bacon grease.

You need a water balloon launcher and pigs in a blanket.

I said classy! Jeez... they're called swine in a comforter by the rich and famous. Gosh

[Evil-Genius]

Well I`d prefer shrimp over hamburgers anyday so I`ll pick the shrimp , But again not everyone like sea food...Pasta with good sauce will do for all I guess

Salad on the side and some garlic bread with good appetizers of your choice you`re good to go !

[James R.]

See Tru this is why I make these threads. So you can come in and drop knowledge. It seems like seafood/pasta is the way to go. I just gotta make sure no one has any allergies so I don't kill anyone. That won't do much in the way of adding names to the roster. Either seafood or some type of grilled chicken since I'm doing pasta.

Totally didn't think about dessert for some reason. I'm trying to be a little seductive, so maybe I'll get one of those fondue things and a bunch of fruit. I don't know why, but fruit is so sexual it's just retarded.

I'll look up some cool drink mixes to fit the mood as well. I'd go for candles, but there's going to be friends there and I really don't want anyone making babies on my couch (edit) unless it's me of course.

What should you make?

You should make all 6 of them bitches get down and dirty at the same fuckin' time.

[James R.]

lmfao that's how you send the night off right. this is all the early stages

I don't know why, but fruit is so sexual it's just retarded.

Well I'm eating a lemon now Mr. R.


Definitely ask everyone for allergen info. You don't want to have some peanut product make one of the girls get blue in the face and develop a rash before YOU make her blue in the face, eat some peanut product, and than develop a rash.

I'm eating a banana atm sexy ain't it? *His osama beard gets in the way*

Even sexier now that you know the banana touched my beard ain't it?

[Emadyville]

I'm just gunna throw in my 2 cents and suggest scallops (bigger the better) wrapped with bacon as an appetizer, I like em, and the word scallop sounds fancy to people, just my thought, if I can think of anything more I'll be sure to let you know

Hm.. I'd also go with the seafood idea, just make sure to find out that people actually like it. Would really suck if it turned out that 90% of them hates it.

Make sushi. It's easy, tasty and if well prepared - looks spectacular. No need to use raw fish too, you can go with the smoked salmon. Or find some recipe on the internet, there are plenty of sushi kinds.


As for the desserts, I'd probably go with fruits too. Drinks.. I'd go with some fancy, colorful drinks. Get Curacao, I guess it's not that expensive, but you can get some really nice effects.

Try making a blooming Onion...and make sure you get that good southwestern sause...


shits awesome...

grill some fuckin steaks man

[Slimm]

Well, sea food is a controversial kinda food cause nog alot of people like it as far as i know. I love it, but im not sure about 10 people all liking sea food.
I'd make Nachos Todos as an apetizer (not just regular nachos, but nachos Todos, you cant NOT love that stuff).

Pasta is good but its not really spectacular. How about lamb ribs, or develish sesame chicken with tagiatelli? If you wanna go with fish, tagiatelli with salmon and some sort of sauce i dont know the english name of is good.

Just my thoughs

[James R.]

God damn you people! You're all helpful and shit and you're making it all confusing. On the upside I found out that 3 people either don't like or are allergic to seafood, so that's not gonna work out unfortunately. I might go with a them now that I think about it. Shit would be kind of awesome, but who knows. Keep any and all ideas coming.

[bom-bom]

its a shame im not there uz i could prepare the best spanish omelette ever and all your gil firends would fall in love with you
mmm i could tell u a lot of spanish food but i dont know i that exist there..but if your friends dont like sea food i would go for pasta..i love it, every type of it..and all ppl i know love it too
but its ure choice chef james
