<p>Who would have thought starting a supper club would make you new friends. Well, that's not strictly true! What I actually mean to say is that I didn't think <strong>I</strong> would be making new friends. After all, most of my time is spent in the kitchen! I don't get that much time to mingle and get to know the guests (not in the same way hubby does), only really at the end of the evening! </p>

<p>Anyway, I have met the most wonderful people at our supper club. Two of them took me to lunch for my birthday - isn't that so, so sweet? Just take a look at what one of the guests (who came all the way from london) said about the birthday celebration <a href="http://www.franciquecaribbean.co.uk/what-our-customers-say.html" target="_blank">supper club</a> he attended. I feel humbled.</p>
<p></p>Birthday Celebrationstag:supperclubfangroup.ning.com,2012-10-17:4181778:BlogPost:1283352012-10-17T17:14:57.000ZPaulette Franciquehttp://supperclubfangroup.ning.com/profile/PauletteFrancique
<p>We recently held a birthday celebration at our supper club and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed all the preparations and hard work that went into it.</p>

<p>I'm a bit of a perfectionist I think or at the very least I like to get things right. I spent a lot of time thinking about and searching for something special I could do for my birthday guest.

<p>I'm a bit of a perfectionist I think or at the very least I like to get things right. I spent a lot of time thinking about and searching for something special I could do for my birthday guest. I ended up baking an orange cake (I cannot begin to tell you how long I spent looking for a cake stand that was the right size and look for the cake) and getting some sparkly candles and a birthday card. Not original I know but it was important to me to offer a little something that was up and above what was being paid for.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The important thing was I really enjoyed doing it and I believe that my birthday guest really appreciated it.</p>

<p>I really enjoyed our supper club last Saturday evening. I was wavering quite a bit about this supper club because it was the Jubilee week-end and I wasn't sure that people would be able to make it. But, I am so glad that I decided to go ahead with it. A group of friends booked to come along and it really was an enjoyable evening. My husband and I managed to spend more time with our guests and we really had a laugh with them. No one would have guessed that these people were strangers in…</p>

No one would have guessed that these people were strangers in our home.</p>
<p><br/>I did slip up a little this time as I forgot to fry the plantains! How could I forget that? It wasn't as if I didn't have a plan to follow - I did, I just didn't look at it very often. I put it down to the fact that I wasn't at my best as I was trying to cope with a darned summer cold! Guess who were having fried plantains the next morning for breakfast?</p>
