This will not be surprising to anyone who has spent more than a few hours with me, but 3 of my favorite things are: theme parties, ambitious baking endeavors, and Game of Thrones. I got to combine all three of these loves for a special dinner party before the finale of GOT's penultimate season. In addition to the themed food I decorated the table with three dragon fruits and some candlelight (because, Team Dany!) We feasted on the heavy food, enjoyed some 'Dornish' Reds, then played DROGO during the epic episode. The menu was:
Herbed Goat Cheese Dragon's Egg
Hot Pie's Direwolf Black Bread (Bon Appetit)
King's Landing Summer Salad (A Feast of Ice and Fire Cookbook)
Ceremonial Pigeon Pie (Bon Appetit)
Hot Buttered Beets (A Feast of Ice and Fire Cookbook)
Sansa's Lemon Cakes (Bon Appetit)
