The dishes for the party didn't really go too well. The preparations were the starting point. I thawed the ingredients 2 and a half hrs late, and this affected my cooking time, such that I was late for the party by half an hr. Thank goodness I had cut the ingredients the previous day.
The Squid didn't turn out as I expected, in its coating. Instead, the coating looked like grated ginger over the squid. It was soggy too, perhaps due to that fact that I squeezed too much lemon juice over it. The Ham was better and the Bacon was the best, thank God. I want to try the Squid out again. I believe I can do it in the proper way. This time, I will coat the squid one by one. In the future, I will drain the dishes first before serving. I couldn't do so due to lack of time.
I'm trying out Canapes next week, by topping tuna and chicken over buttered bread cuts, and covering them with grated morzarella cheese before toasting them. I hope they turn out well.
I made some bites for my choir mates. I coated mushroom balls in McCormick's Seasoning Mix and dried rosemary before pan-frying them. Then I garnished them with pineapple pieces. I got good reviews for it. :)
