Since the days of ancient Egypt, cats have been at man’s side. In fact more and more people are throwing Cat parties to celebrate milestones in their feline friend’s life. At such a party, fresh fish and milk should certainly be served to the guest of honor. But what to serve the human guests? How about a kitty cat menu?
Of course, your Animal party menu won’t actually be serving up any felines. Instead use items with cat themed names. To drink, serve your guests Kitty Cola. As an appetizer, goldfish crackers keep the theme purring along. For the main course, serve up freshly grilled tuna steaks. To finish off your cat menu, create or purchase a cat cake. With the popularity of cartoons such as Sylvester and Heathcliff, this is a relatively popular design and should be available at many bakeries or specialty baking stores.
When cooking up your kitten friendly tuna steaks, a few tips will help to keep this delicacy of the sea moist, tender and flavorful. Marinate steaks ahead of time in a shallow 9 X 13 inch glass dish. Add 1 cup soy sauce, ½ cup lemon juice, 2 cloves crushed garlic, 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Allow steaks to marinate for 30 minutes prior to grilling. Just prior to placing steaks on your hot grill, oil the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill steaks for no more than 4 minutes per side for 1-inche tuna steaks.
With the popularity of kittens, it’s no wonder more and more people want to celebrate with their finicky felines. A cat menu at your next party will help everyone feel involved, feline and human alike. By just adding even one simple food item to the menu will help create
a complete Cat & Kittens theme party feeling. |
