I'm having a few girlfriends for dinner tomorrow night. Having just returned from a wine tour at Niagara-on-the-Lake with some fabulous whites and sparklings, I was planning at menu of saffron lobster risotto for the main (great recipe have made before) with a mixed green salad (rocket, cress, radicchio, frisee) and simple white balsamic vinaigrette. I have some nice cheeses, La Tur and Rochetta for apps. And dessert will come from the local gourmet shop as I have no time to prepare one from scratch. My question is, should I skip one or both of the cheeses because I'd really like to include caviar with the first course (apps) with champagne. Too rich?

Somehow I think you know what you want to do already. So do it.

Well I think I know but what would *you* do?
A
Have both cheeses *and* the caviar, but cut the cheeses in half. it's *never* too rich :-) Especially if it's a nice bubbly.
BTW, what's the address........ and don't start without me!!!

You were in my neighbourhood and didn't look me up? I am shattered.

Darlings, I said this was a *girls* night out.
BTW, dessert will be fruit based so I guess we can indulge. We only see each other a couple times a year.

Much too too... I think a bushel basket of roasted in-shell peanuts, bologna on white with yaller musturd, and a keg of beer would suit poifectly.

I'd skip the caviar because you have lobster as the maincourse (repeat of seafood). Why not just serve buck's fizz as a start...light and refreshing and terribly easy for the hostess.
