For Christmas I received "The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook." We were so excited to try it out that we invited my sister and her kids over to have a Hogwarts feast!
The Menu
Pumpkin Juice
Butterbeer
Glazed Ham
Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Potatoes
Glazed Carrots
Irish Soda Bread
Chocolate Frogs
Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans
Treacle Tart
Pumpkin Pasties
Sugar Mice
Frosted Flies
I was pretty proud of how it all turned out! Although I have to give a HUGE thanks to Ty and Misha who spent the entire night before helping me get everything ready. The desserts all seemed popular, although the carrots and the soda bread got mixed reviews. My favorite were the sugar mice... they literally melted in your mouth.
The kids took a quiz that told them what their patronus would be. Both Ky and Savvy got dolphin, which they were thrilled about. Izzy got a squirrel and Dylan got a wolf.
April made us all butterbeer. It was incredible. It is really sweet, but it tastes just like you'd think it would when you read the books.
While the adults cooked and chatted, the kids watched the first movie. After dinner and all that sugar, they opted for "Just Dance" on the Wii. It was so cute to see them all getting their groove on together. Thanks again to April, Ty, and Misha for helping pull the night off, and hopefully we can do it again soon!
