Thin Man Party - Part I

[Snowflake]

This past weekend I hosted the first Thin Man party. I must say, it went over really well!

The menu was somewhat eclectic, not vintage, but everyone enjoyed it:
cumin-roasted potatoes with caviar and smoked salmon
roasted-pepper goat cheese torta
deviled ham on crostini
miniature crab cakes with a ginger/mango pickle
crudites
chicken and pork skewers with peanut sauce or nuoc mam
martinis & manhattans

Dress was casual since the weather has been too hot & humid for anything other than that, even in the AC. Another ex-patriate from California was wearing vintage, Venice Beach wear! It was quite swanky.

We viewed the first in the series, The Thin Man. I had also typed up a 1 page set of quotes for the attendees to shout along with Nick & Nora (okay so that was so Rocky Horror, no toast, except real toasts in the cocktail sense). The quoting was quite hilarious as I left some of them guessing where the quote would be (a few, believe it or not, had never seen the film). A good time was had by all and everyone is anxious for the next round of cocktails and the next in the series, After the Thin Man.
