Some friends made dinner at my place a few months ago as a going away dinner for some people. Although I prepared zero of the following dishes, I did get to eat them. And as always, that's the important part.
The following creation is basically slices of french bread with tuna, celery, and egg. The middle centerpiece is the always appropriate for any occasion - grilled cheese sandwich. I'm told it was very quick to prepare, and the presentation in my opinion was superb. It tasted great too, but tuna + bread is a good combo to me in any form.
Celery is definitely a hit or miss kind of addition, but it worked this time.
There were actually 4 or 5 plates of different bread creations, but my favorite was between the above tuna and the below pizza. I'm a big fan of bagel bites (even though it's a guarantee that I'll burn the roof of my mouth eating them), and these are like bagel bites^2. They tasted way better and the homemade factor just increased the goodness. Plus, they have bacon and it's hard to go wrong with bacon.
By the way, if anyone ever asks if you want to add bacon to your order, the answer is always yes. It will taste better. It's a sure thing - kind of like *Paris Hilton having sex with her dates (if you ever find yourself in that situation, the answer is actually "NO"). *I made sure to mention Paris after posting the picture in hopes that the negative association wouldn't be projected on the wonderful sandwich...err bread things.
This final creation was a variation, but still took a little creativity. It's literally: pancakes with a ton of chocolate ice cream and strawberries on top. "A la mode" to the extreme. At first you'd think that this amount of ice cream with the pancakes on the bottom wouldn't be very good, but what's not to like?
Pancakes are good. Strawberries are good. And the ice cream just holds it all together. It's like the glue of the dessert - literally. Chocolate ice cream is like bacon, it just makes anything taste good.
This little flan cake thing has nothing to do with the above dinner and is actually from a Cuban restaurant I went to on Valentine's Day. I just thought I'd share. It had a bitter tasting syrup sauce, and looked better than it tasted. Although by no means bad, it was mediocrity at its best.
