The Golden Oldies was a fun era balanced with good times and responsibilities. When thinking of the Golden Oldies, music from the fifties and sixties always comes to mind. Whether it is Elvis Presley or the Fifth Dimension, carefree songs are always noted throughout this time period.
Planning a menu for a Golden Oldies party can be fun, especially when you name the dishes to mesh with the theme. Try having At The Hop Hamburgers, Blue Velvet Cupcakes, California Dreaming Rolls, and Hound Dog Punch.
To make California Dreaming Rolls at the Golden Oldies party gather 1 small handful of Sushi Rice,½ sheet Nori, some Crab meat, some Avocado, some Cucumber, and some Cream Cheese. The rest is pretty simple after the rice has been made. Cover the bamboo mat in plastic wrap and cut a piece of Nori (seaweed/algae) in two. Dice some avocado, cucumber and cream cheese. Next, place the ½ nori sheet at the end (toward you) of the mat. Spread a small handful of sushi rice on the nori sheet, leaving a ¼ of an inch on either side. Shake on some sesame seeds. Flip the whole thing over and place chopped avocado, cucumber and crab meat along the middle of the roll. Roll gently with even pressure. Cut roll in half. Align the 2 halves and cut twice into 6 even pieces. Add a dab of wasabi, some soy sauce, and your appetizer is ready to be served.
Celebrate fun with a Golden Oldies party, make sure to have plenty of juke box favorite on had so the guests can twist the night away. By just adding even one simple food item to the menu will help create
