It’s Williams Sonoma Party Time!

I have to say, the past two weeks were sooo NUTS! First our living room and dining room had to be re-painted, then we had to remove ALL of the furniture from the upstairs of our house so the floors could be re-done. Absolute madness, and yes I have a lot of furniture! KT’s HCG diet is going well, I am losing weight consistently and no side effects! A lot of men have asked if they can take HCG, well according to Kevin and Dr. Simeon, they can and enjoy the same results. More on one of my male friends and his results to come in a later post.

The day of the party (June 26th) has come and it’s a beautiful sunny day…its hot though but, my guests won’t be arriving until 7pm so hopefully it will cool down a bit. I hired a woman to come and help because heck, I want to enjoy the party too! I have lost a total of 20 pounds in 34 days! Shel lost a total of 30 pounds in 21 days! We are new women! We are wearing things that we haven’t worn in years and both look and feel great.

I have some great dishes inspired by Michael Symon’s recipes. We will be dining on filet mignon with a horseradish cream sauce, roasted pork loin with heirloom tomato salad, haricot verts with baby peas in white wine, butter sauce, pesto pasta salad, roasted shrimp with spicy cocktail sauce, an Italian antipasti platter created with produce from Arthur Avenue (the best quality Italian products can be bought here), black olive bread, goat cheese crostini with tomato jam and lots of booze…including our house specialty…MOJITOS (we have a planter box filled with mint). For dessert I made mini key lime tarts and a decadent dark chocolate trifle with fresh whipped cream and raspberries…YUM! I set up one long table to seat the 18 people and cover it with pristine white tablecloths, candles and hydrangeas from my garden. It looks beautiful and I am sure everyone will enjoy the evening.

Everyone arrives and cannot believe the change in appearance of Shel and I. Funny, we both end up wearing black halter tops and capris...not planned! Of course, we have to answer all the questions of how we did it, which we happily do. It really was a beautiful night and we are both high fiving each other because WE DID IT!  Thanks KT!

Back to Kevin Trudeau….I did see another infomercial with his “Your Wish Is Your Command” cd set….looks interesting…HMMMM….
