Champagne party
Once I'm better and can drink (yay!), I want to have a champagne toast a the house. Really I want to have it outside of the house, but I can't justify spending the money. Rob and I found this cute chocolate shop super close, but it will cost us $1000 and I'd have to really limit the guestlist, and it would only be for 2 hours. So I think we'll do it at home and just have to hire a cleaning lady to clean before and afterward.
Right now I'm thinking we will have this on a Sunday afternoon (to discourage people from over-imbibing). We'll have champagne (a sweet and a dry) and Miller High Life (the champagne of beers!) to drink, with some sparkling water. Strawberries, chocolate covered strawberries, grapes, truffles, lemon bars, cheese and crackers, potato chips (which go amazingly well with champagne), and whatever other goodies look good at Trader Joe's.
Some "champagne" I hear is inexpensive and decent are: Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut (fresh and dry), Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut, Lorikeet Brut (sweet Brut).
