"A party is a party, but a party on a summer's eve..."

Dinner Party : my favorite pastime; an excuse to clean, cook extravagantly, and dress up; a gathering of people for pleasure and food; almost synonymous with "hanging out", but not quite.


Last night, a good friend and her lovely family came to my house for a summer dinner party. We ate grilled chicken sandwiches with mustard, as recommended by stephmodo. We ended the night with my aunt's famous black-bottom cupcakes; they have a surprise cheesecake middle. I couldn't have been happier with the menu, with the company, or with the sunshine.

Bonus points for identifying the movie quoted in this post's title.

Can I get bonus points for noting that Mr. creepface Elton said it as well?

I'm way down for you posting recipe slash pictures of those cupcakes.
