Tapas for Spain and so on

So luckily Spain did win last night. To get us into the spirit of the Spanish evening last night, I did a little Spanish supper.I remember reading Patty Boyd's autobiography and reading how when married to Eric Clapton he would always ask for a big bowl of spaghetti and a large napkin to tuck into his shirt when watching The Godfather. It makes simple affairs eventful and fun.

This photo was actually taken at our wedding. We did anti pasta starters. Quite a nice idea for all the guests to have to pass round and share which breaks the ice when first seated.

*A note from Mrs Mostess:

If you're feeling a bit uninspired about your next dinner party or even a quiet supper in, you can choose a theme for the evening.
It will be refreshing for others, without them having to dress up.

What about a Russian night with blinis and borscht. It can be quite wild with vodka of course or a low key night in with Dr Zhivago.

Chinese New Year is also easy. You have to wait for the appropriate time of year of course.
