Having the inlaws over tomorrow night for boy's birthday dinner. Have been prepping all day! Prosciutto-wrapped melon. Spinach pies in the freezer. Cheesy sauce in the fridge. Cranberry beans a-braising. Cakes a-baking.

Tomorrow I roast the squashes & garlic & sweet potatoes, boil the pasta, warm the breads, stir-fry the asparagus, dress the salad, mix the punch, saute the peaches....

7pm:

Hummus & pitettes w/ vinaigrette
Fillo spinach pastries
Melon wrapped w/ prosciutto (drizzled w/ balsamic, black pepper)
Red velvet punch

8pm:

Cheesy sachetti (like tortellini)
Acorn squash
Butternut squash
Sweet potatoes
Roasted garlic
Asparagus (stir-fry w/ maple soy sauce)
Cranberry beans (braised)
Greens salad (vinaigrette, goat cheese on the side)
Toast

9pm:

Cake w/ sauteed peaches & ice cream

There was supposed to be grapefruit salad in the 8pm dinner section, as a palate cleanser, but the grapefruit turned out half rotten, ouch.
