Harry Potter Weekend


Joe and I along with a group of our friends are very big Harry Potter fans. Very big Harry Potter fans. We have all read the books and seen the movies multiple times. We decided it would be fun to get together for an entire weekend to watch the movies and play some Harry Potter trivia. For Christmas, Joe bought me the Harry Potter cookbook so I thought it would be fun to create a menu for the weekend that centered around food themes that appeared in the books and “British” food.

We all had a blast and got through most of the movies in a 36 hour period. It was such a success that our friends are begging us to do it again.  We have met some new people that haven’t been exposed to Harry Potter so we will have to initiate them into the wonderful world of HP in the near future.

We served lunch, dinner and dessert on Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. The menu included:



Saturday Lunch
Chicken salad with tomato on cocktail rye bread
Egg salad on cocktail pumpernickel bread
Fresh and smoked mozzarella with fresh tomato and basil on a baguette with balsamic vinegar
Cucumber sandwiches filled with cream cheese mixed with craisins, walnuts and cinnamon
Rock Cakes

Saturday Dinner
Short Rib Shepard’s Pie

Saturday Dessert
Apple crumble with vanilla ice cream and fresh whipped cream

Sunday Breakfast
Cranberry Orange Scones
Blueberry Scones
Bacon

Sunday Lunch

Recipes to come in future posts so stay tuned!
