BYOM
I think just about everyone out there has heard of BYOB (bring your own beer/booze). This is always a good idea if having a party - buying alcohol for a crowd can get expensive, and people understand that. A few weeks ago, I decided to expand the idea of BYOB and BYOM - bring your own meat. I love to cook, especially for other people, but I often have to serve dishes that are inexpensive to make. I simply cannot afford to have 8 people over for steak. So, one night I made my famous roasted potatoes (very inexpensive) and some asparagus, and everyone brought their own steaks. I wrapped the steaks in bacon, cooked them, and served them with the sides I had prepared. It was a great idea - everyone ate a delicious and fancy meal (who wouldn’t love bacon-wrapped filet mignon), and I was able to afford to host all of those people. Try it out with your friends!
