I love to go out, for us a joy in life. A nesseccary must hahaha. I love go to friends, to a restaurant, to a wedding, you name it and I can say yes. The fact that we havent been able to be “out” in a very long time and dinners weren’t possible due to the covid rules all over the world. But i am obeying the rules and still safe so I can hold off for a while, and than the invite came. I was so exited to see the dinner party invite. I was invited to dinner by @jaynie.

The HIVE DINNNER PARTY
The dinner party is a blog topic @jaynie made for the 10 th edition of the weekly. An inspo blog for all hivers and especially #lifestyleloungers.
Read the blog here : https://peakd.com/hive-114105/@jaynie/the-weekly-no-10-lifestyle-lounge-blog-inspirations-for-the-week-ahead
What a joy to sit at a beautiful all white table and enjoy home cooked festive courses, all hand picked by our hostess for the other hivers that are invited. Its no secret the netherlands and south’s Africa meet in wine! Yes we are friends and we love a bit of wine so: wine is a must!

I am gonna write about the preparations needed for the dinner.

  1. Buying the lovely host a present
  2. Buying the other guests a little gift
  3. Pre select a fabulous fashionable outfit
  4. Bring wine
  5. Book the nanny

The gift for the hostess
well that has to be a funny and usefull present. And we know a whip is sometimes needed, online and in discord. We also had the boot, but the boot is special and with this apron well I say great combo!

But ofcourse I also want to buy a sweet small treasure to give.

BA1C65E9-DF9E-4A18-88C8-25F88D40C5FD.jpeg

A earth treasure bracelet, cause trees grow in any kind of season, any weather and whatever soil. And I love stone crystal beads.
Perfect for you jaynie.

But where are we ?

First lets check the venue, I think the table is on a boat, I see on the invite ( and the first picture of the blog ) a railing of a boat, so I think its a boat, a great luxurious ship where a red carpet leads the way. And I know Denise and I love cruising, @dswigle.

Buying the other guests a little gift

I am dutch and I will be meeting people from all over the world so I want to give them something typical dutch and for this occasion I will buy 10 packages of STROOPWAFELS
I never met anyone that didn’t love stroopwafels.

Pre select a fabulous fashionable outfit!

Yes, for a fashion addict a MUST and a JOY. I will go all out and go for a royal outfit, and who better to have as a fashion icon as inspiration than
our own Reina Maxima.

078D3865-FFA6-4FB6-BE72-938D581D1355.jpeg

So, I will choose one of these three lovelies, on the morning of the dinner, because weather and a boat is a thing I need to keep in mind.

But I will also choose from the less royal dresses, but the Britt ones, I love floor sweepers so much.
The one I prefer is the orange , pink leopard, or the green one.
The dresses are from Hotlava a brand from my friend in Scheveningen, always wear dutch brands or designers.

Bring wine!

This is something I have to ask hubby, he is the wine specialist, I am just the consumer. I would bring a box of Barolo red wine, we love red the most and I know the hostess won’t be dissapointed, because thats the best with the meat and courses choosen.

WINE DESCRIPTION
The wine has a deep garnet red color with delicate orange tones.
It is distinguished by a certain aromatic range that tends towards maturity. It is jam-like, nutty, toasty and floral with good development. A harmonious combination of tannins and crunch, providing pleasant sensations of fullness and body. The wine has a deep garnet red color with delicate orange tones.

Aghain good accompaniment to dishes of red meat, game, roast meat and cheeses. Especially appreciated by fans of full-bodied and smooth wines! ( read @dswigle , @eugelys @joanstewart @jaynie and me ) we as the ladies of the group can salute the lady up in the starzzzzz, she loved a glass wine aswell.

Who ? Well meet :
WINEMAKER BENI DI BATASIOLO,
Owners of the Dogliani family, Beni di Batasiolo is a winery located in the Langhe region of Piemonte. In 1978 the Dogliani brothers bought the historic Kiola winery in La Morra, which was founded in 1950 and consists of 7 farms, with vineyards located in the most beautiful Barolo wine-growing areas. With the addition of this great winery and its own grounds, the total estate now consists of 9 farms and 264 hectares of vineyards, 150 of which are planted with the most important and celebrated locally grown grape, the Nebbiolo, for the making of Barolo!

Book the nanny

Well thats arranged aswell, with the lovely boys we have asking my parents who love to spoil the kids when mum is no problem.

As the chef and hostess already told in her blog there were many specially choosen courses from her cookbook, for the guests.

You know... you NEVER cease to amaze me! What an awesome post and THOSE GIFTS!!! First of all, I will whip but there will be no nae nae from me HAHAHAHA - well, that is actually wine consumption dependent, lol! As for the tree of life bracelet - honey you know me too well!!!! I actually had one on a necklace which my mom bought for me a few years back... it was my favourite necklace ever - unfortunately, it broke... so THANK YOU for that!

I love your dress choice - but I also think you would TOTALLY rock that green one!!!

I love you my friend. Thank you for this!

VERY special!!!!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

The tree is so gorgeous indeed so appropriate and what about that cruise ship and red carpet hahahah and now that zoom dinner maybe I just read about hahahha and that last coffee in discord is your face

Oh you know I am there!!!!!!!!!!! @zord189 and I were just discussing the possibility of the 8th in the server.... chat there? :)

That would be cool

WHAAAAAAT?!!!!! @brittandjosie you are in a league of your own! This was such a fun read. Wow! I'd also go with the floor sweepers. Bohemian style is my style. Topped off with your excellent choice of wine, stroopwaffels and superb company. Hats off to you

I had so much fun doing this blog. And the floor sweepers are a must, maybe we both need to do a blog about fashion fun hhahahah, lifestylelounge is the perfect community for it !

Thank you for resteeming my dinner cruise answer to jaynie

Love the idea stepping out into a night of fun.

Sorry I don't wear dresses so light weight slax suite for comfort, added ease of moving around especially enjoying a lovely dark red wine.

STROOPWAFELS placed on top of that coffee will be a delightful to enjoy the morning after.

Yes the suit will suit you, and a stroopwafel on your coffee and let it get warm that is the ultimate FINAL to a great dinner

Love stroopwafel we can get them here, imported but delicious! Definitely will need a few for following morning with coffee beneath warming it up.

This is the best , in holland there are desserts with irishcoffee like that but also a stroopwafel with ontop icecream and whipped cream, a caolorie bomb but soooo good

It's no wonder I'm getting fat @brittandjosie , with you and @jaynie feeding me all these meals ha ha ha 🤣

↑Upvoted↑ and ←Reblogged→



(shared on Twitter too!)

Hahahahah Jerry we are feeders hiding on hive but I will be so much fun will you walk the red carpet with me

You sure you want that @brittandjosie?

You have tits

They are called Moobs, and yes, I have them (but not that bad @brittandjosie 😂 )

The coffee!!! I love the whole thing, Britt! @brittandjosie Cruising? I'm definitely in! You know we love it! We get out own cabana boy and hello? He delivers wine. What is not to love?

Love those dresses. Remember how cool those dining rooms can get. I would put one with sleeves on, even though I always go sleeveless and sometimes the air conditioner is too cold.

This is such an amazing post! I loved reading it and it is so like you!! the bracelet? Nice touch, and so very special.

Love to you. xoxo

The next cruise is booked, that was the one we were supposed to do last year,
And is now in fall, october but we dont know if it can be done with the covid rules so its not definite yet

I have two booked, one was on the Med, but, I am sure I won't go. It is in June. :( I was supposed to go last year too. I am going to book one more as the prices are really low now, but, they have set the rules to the point of failing most industries now.

We will see. I am ready to buy another RV and take to the National Parks this year.

Que cena tan especial! La disfrute mucho.

And we know a whip is sometimes needed

Word up to that!

-cough- ... really, I'm behaving.

Seriously, what a well thought out post. I am thinking we are all going to gain a few pounds!

I don't know what stroopwafels are but the name alone makes me want to eat them. Admitedly there's not a lot I won't eat.

Well, I'd be willing to give it a try.

Thank you very much

I feel it's going to be a beautiful event. You all have fun. I know everyone will love the stroopwafels with their coffee. I certainly enjoyed them until the last one.

Thanks for sharing your vision of the dinner party.

Stroopwaffels, available in every Chinese corner shop in Suriname. I didn't know what these things were until a friend gifted us a bag. I thought about going to the dentist before I was even finished eating one. Those things are sweet beyond belief.

Hahahaha the fact that they are so sweet is the best of the whole stroopwafel and yes it ruins teeth and diets hahahah
