Spontaneous dinner party

Spontaneous dinner party is excited but could lead to a couple of mistakes.

First mistake was not to put 2 sets of forks and knives so the starter and the main course was eaten with the same cutlery.

The second mistake was to urgently cook a starter I never cooked before - pear, pancetta and Gorgonzola salad.

Ingredients:

1 bag of rocket

1 pear

50 gram of fried pancetta

80 gram of Gorgonzola

50 g of beetroot

For the vinaigrette

125 ml of balsamic vinegar

60 ml olive oil

1 tablespoon of mustard

some dried thyme

Salt and pepper

Optional: garlic

Cooking: just toss everything together and create a vinaigrette in a shaker or salad dressing container.

The problem with this salad: rocket and blue cheese is a classic mix. Pancetta is fine. But the pear just does not belong to this salad. Completely. I used ripened expensive Waitrose pears and it still did not work. Complete failure!

Verdict: planning is extremely important and spontaneous things being exciting and fun will definitely not work out in certain places.
