We had our
murder mystery party tonight. It couldn't have turned out better. The group all came in costume, and acted out all their parts.
I pretty much stuck with the planned dinner, although I also incorporated a few suggestion that DC'ers offered. Jennyema's stuffed tomatoes were a big hit, and instead of wrapping the shrimp appetizer in bacon, I used prosciutto instead. That turned out to be an excellent suggestion.
I went back and forth on whether or not to make Cornish Hens, but in the end we decided to go with them. Instead of roasting them in the oven, I brined them and did them on the grill. I have to say they came out fantastic - juicy, with just the right amount of smokiness.
Unfortunately, I totally got swamped trying to get everything cooked and plated, and didn't have time to take pictures, so I have nothing to post.
Thanks again to everyone who offered suggestions!
