Party with New People Menu

Last night we had a collection of pals over that we have wanted to meet each other.  But maybe the affair was a little too big and too many people did not know each other.  There was a choppiness at moments.  And the conversation stayed somewhat surface.  But there are always first steps in introductions.  I coordinated what peeps brought and that worked well, except I forgot to assign the bubble water.

Carolyn brought a bottle of 1950s tequila which made my evening smooth.  Several Vodka and Tonic drinkers.  Wine.  And non drinkers.  I had made some rose water with the intention of making a non-alcoholic concoction, but ran out of time.
