Help! Chester County Dinner Club Needs Card Table Idea.

I need your help. We're hosting our dinner club tonight. There are 10 couples and my wife and I can't get our dining room table pulled out further to get the second leaf in. It won't extend anymore (that's what she said).

So we have a card table that we're putting at the very end. Classy. The problem is, I don't feel like sitting at the card table side like a peasant? I want to be in a prime big people spot so I can hold court and make sure all things revolve around me. I find that if I can dictate the pace and content of the conversations, it's a lot more fun for all.

So I need some quick ideas to narrow down who will get stuck at the card table side. I was thinking some kind of trivia. Any ideas?

As for dinner, I'm making this cheesy, garlic shrimp dish that will be served over pasta and some kind of chicken....and twice baked potatoes and some other stuff.

If you give me an idea that I can use, you won't be invited tonight but it will seem like you are there because I'll put your name on a piece of paper and place it on the table...... the card table.

Chester County Mexican Dinner Results? Delicious

So last night was the dinner club I was telling you about. Here are pics of the tasty Mexican food. Chicken enchiladas, beef enchiladas, black beans and asparagus salad. Very Delicious. Margaritas and Coronas were also consumed.

...And for those that want to see a photo of the Chiles Rellenos I made the other night..TA - DAAA. Now go microwave the Big Mac that's in the back of your fridge and eat it while looking at this food. If you use your imagination - maybe.. just maybe.. that Big Mac will taste a little bit better. To add some excitement to your life, prop up a pillow next to your TV tray and pretend you're dining with me...Dr Zibbs.

Mexican Dinner Club Preparation In Chester County

I'm getting ready to clean and pamper myself in preparation for the dinner club I'm going to in a few hours. The hosts are serving Mexican. I hope that they serve some Chiles Rellenos. My new West Chester blog friend Kimmie posted a recipe for Chiles Rellenos a few days ago and I made it this week. Let me tell you something - was tasty. And for you fatties out there - it's pretty low in calories too.

So in the spirit of Mexico, here's a video of Charo* singing Love Will Keep Us Together. OK... She's really Spanish but..what are you gonna do. My Chiles Rellenos weren't 100% Mexican because I had to use Velveeta for the cheese. So it all evens out.

I just need to make sure I save enough room for Sunday's Chester County Restaurant Festival. Oh Yeah.



*I shit you not fact: Charo was named twice by Guitar Magazine as best Flamenco guitar player.
