pokeno party


This was a weekend full of parties! Friday night I hosted our monthly Pokeno game. Pokeno is  a cross between bingo and cards. We play with a core group of about 8 with new people joining in sometimes.  I hosted just our core of 8 (including Gabby and myself). As always we drank, played a couple of rounds, won and lost quarters, ate and did I mention drank. The menu had a citrus and cranberry theme; I made wine poached steak, stuffed mushrooms, cranberry meatballs, mini quiches (from Sam's), orange chutney and brie on water crackers, prosciutto roll up with a wheel of cheese, celery gratin and for dessert earl grey truffles, meringues and citrus bundt cake with a tangerine glaze. To drink we had red and white wine, cranberry sparklers, eggnog spiked with cognac and champagne.  I don't have any pictures of my decor but it was red and black theme (a la' suites of cards).
