During January and February I like to host dinner parties and what a better way than to come up with a theme- namely Winter Blues. I live in Winnetka, so my invitation says Winnetka Winter Blues.
Guests entered to a house darkened and lit with blue lights....the brighter light- it's from a curio cabinet.

Here is my menu:

Blue Point Oysters

Red Cabbage Empanadas

Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives

Beverages:

Blue Lagoon  -  Blue Hawaiin

Cream of Lettuce Soup with Blue Cheese Croutons

Green Bean Salad

Pork Medallions with a Potato and Goat Cheese Eggroll

Blue Cheese ice cream in a  phyllo nest with Blackberry and Apple Rosemary Compote
