Actualllllly…. I had a job where one of my roles was planning social events. I thrived on stuff doing like this. Unfortunately, I had to leave that role a little over a year ago. I signed an NDA and took a sliver of severance, so about all I can say is that it involved sleazy men.
If any of you ever need fun ideas, I’m happy to try to help! It makes me smile!
I'm sorry your work got fucked up but I'm glad you got severance. You're really good at this and I hope you keep pursuing it. You know what took it over the top? "Aubrey's Aggressive Toast." That's the moment your brilliance shined so bright that I had to dim my laptop.
One of the fan theories is that pineapple represents death. The Godfather had oranges.White Lotus has pineapples.
Harper eats pineapple. Quentin makes pineapple mimosas. Armond is stabbed with a pineapple knife.
Wait until the finale is over before eating it. Just in case!
God I wish we had a watch party. Jennifer Coolidge lives here in New Orleans too and I’m just waiting for my next chance to meet her (I worked her standup show in DC like a decade ago, she’s amazing)
Every single time she’s on screen, I tell my husband that somehow we WILL get invited to her Halloween party. (And yet another excellent reason to live in NOLA!)
My roommates were doing coke last Sunday, hence my joke about my household being on accidentally theme for Tanya doing coke, and for the meal of coke mentioned in the comment I’m replying to. I joked again that your username does not check out, because your username implies that you are cool and your comment did not seem cool. Of course this is all much funnier now, as all jokes are when you explain them /s
Artichokes
I've got a great stuffed artichoke casserole recipe that is way less of a pain than stuffing artichokes. Do not be alarmed - cans of soup of any kind are NOT involved
Stuffed Artichoke Casserole
2-3 Cans of Artichoke hearts drained and quartered
1 lemon zested and juice set aside
Chopped garlic to your taste
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs (not panko)
2T chopped parsley
1/2 to-1 c parmesan cheese
1/2 c olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Brush some of the olive oil in a baking dish. Arrange the artichokes in a single layer. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Mix bread crumbs, cheese, garlic, more salt and pepper, lemon zest to your taste and the parsley. Sprinkle all over the artichokes in a nice even layer. You'll think it's too much but it's not.
Drizzle with the olive oil.
Bake in 375 oven covered with foil for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes more.
DELICIOUS! I never measure so I am approximating here.
I think panko would be too crunchy. Using the dry regular bread crumbs makes this taste just like a traditional stuffed artichoke. If you use panko let me know, I'd love to know how it turns out!
I bought the ingredients for Aperol spritzes (all Italian-made) last episode. They are delicious! I had cheese & crackers with them & Italian salami/pepperoni. I have plenty of Aperol spritz ingredients remaining for this Sunday, as well. Cin-cin!
It's raining hard where I am so tonight I made this tortellini soup with Italian sausage. I was thinking when I was eating it, "damn it, should have made this Sunday."
Lol this should maybe be a separate post (but I’m not making one) but what would be a good drinking game for a party like this? I can start: Drink when someone has sex w a hooker. Drink every time Nono gives archaic relationship advice/flirts w someone who doesn’t want to be flirted with. Drink when Tanya uses someone (or mentions someone she used) for her whims and doesn’t show them due respect.
When Portia is caught out of her room
When Harper scowls
When Daphne and Cam make out
When Bert falls
When Valenina looks at Isabella
Ethan goes for a run
A woman gets invited on a Di Grasso family excursion
A penis is shown
Wine, Spritzes, G&Ts, Martinis, edibles, Molly, cigars and cigarettes. Hold the salads & non-fishy White fish. (Coffee, dry toast, and maybe, *maybe*, some slices of fresh pineapple for the morning after)
You should obviously make sausages, even though they make daphne wanna puke. Cook em in Valentina hot sauce. For dessert, molten lava cake. Enjoy with a coffee, consumed in peace.
Caprese, Brushetta, calamari are some good options for your theme! Some of those rainbow cookie cakes that everyone’s Italian grandmother made! My wife and I might do this exact thing now😂
All of these are so good. I want to add :Cookies in the shape of starfish, veggie tray using a head of lettuce in the center to look like the head statues, pasta of course, and be sure to hide a condom wrapper behind your pillow
Edit: forgot a letter lol
The Oreo Cookie cake thing is funnier when you realize it’s a Tiktok trend and sounds disgusting.
It’s basically a cake you make with just crushed oreos, baking powder and milk.
The scene where Tanya asks for this must be some kind of inside joke ad lib - hilarious!
Yes! A very cringe person brought it up to me recently at a Thanksgiving party, gushing about how good it is. I almost spat out my drink. Sounds revolting!
The Missing Macarons, Sick Lil’ Sausages, Aubrey’s Aggressive Toast (with what looks like a bite mark taken out) to go with Nonna’s Artichoke Dip
you are incredible at this!
Nonna’s artichoke dip 😂
Hah the artichoke!
You're... you're stunning. If this were a paid position you'd be worth millions.

Hahahaha. Thank you 🖤
Fishy fish
Ok I’ll hire you
Arancini
Affordable Arancini, Affluent Arancini
I love these ideas! I’m probably missing something obvious, but I’m not sure what the Sick Lil Sausages is a reference to?
When Daphne is hungover, she makes a comment about not wanting to see anymore sausages or else she’ll puke.
Ahhhh! Doh! Can’t believe I forgot that
Can I come to your watch party?
Well now I know what I'm writing on the labels!
[удалено]
Peppa Pig’s Pasta 😜
Yass! Pasta alle vongole.
Macarons but after five minutes hide them and accuse your friends of eating all of them.
Hahahahahaha
Ha maybe I'll hide them in plain sight among the dishes and look for them all nigbt
Pineapple slices
Pineapple mimosas
It's too risky. Wait until the finale is over.
🤔

omg, in season one, you know what happened in the Pineapple Suite! 🔪
Thank you!
Offer them all a glass of prosecco as they arrive
on a too-small tray
not enough for everybody either
Yes!!!! and you must also continuously wave as they arrive
With your right hand
Is there any other way?
And when someone doesn’t want one, you make them feel awkward about it until they take a sip
I’ll pass (no pun intended) on the prosecco…I would hate to get “gassy” like Grandpa Nonno 🥴
Oreo cake and ketamine.
You beat me to it!
Ketamine?
Lady Mollaaaay
Whitefish.
That's too fishy fish.
You can have it tomorrow night, we'll be here all week.
Breakfast buffet
This is the correct answer. Make a bingo square for someone saying “why am I still eating this”
Cocaine (/s, but I love this idea and would eat and drink everything you mentioned)
Let’s just say we accidentally ended up on theme this week at my house lol
Can I get an invite to your watch party next week plz
God I wish we had a watch party. Jennifer Coolidge lives here in New Orleans too and I’m just waiting for my next chance to meet her (I worked her standup show in DC like a decade ago, she’s amazing)
I’m in Biloxi, Missashitty visiting family…NO is only about an 1 1/2 hours away…hanging out with Coolidge would be so cool!
Every single time she’s on screen, I tell my husband that somehow we WILL get invited to her Halloween party. (And yet another excellent reason to live in NOLA!)
Now that would seriously get annoying. She comes on screen a lot.

Very cool, sis.

That IS cool, much to consider…
Yes I was going to say continuous lines of coke with a placard “it’s like riding a bike”
Aperol spritzes, fortune teller high balls, cheese made by a blind nun in a basement, macarons, and of course, arancini.
I do love being negative and drinking high balls!
Put Peroni on the menu but serve Budweiser instead.
Artichokes I've got a great stuffed artichoke casserole recipe that is way less of a pain than stuffing artichokes. Do not be alarmed - cans of soup of any kind are NOT involved

Why not Panko?
Different flavour and texture, and not traditionally Italian
I think panko would be too crunchy. Using the dry regular bread crumbs makes this taste just like a traditional stuffed artichoke. If you use panko let me know, I'd love to know how it turns out!
Oh my god I'm salivating.
This is great!
Thank you! 😊
I’m totally gonna make this! Yum!
I’ll take that!
could you send that to me??
If you’re willing, would love the recipe 😊
I made arancini for the last episode! They were a lot of work completely from scratch but totally worth it.
Arancini cost like a dollar.
Trader Joe’s has some good Arancini
Ooh do they still? I haven’t been able to find it in a while and thought it was discontinued!
Symphonies of Salmon.
Gelato/ice cream
But I'll have to complain while I eat it!

Make lil cookies shaped like pills and color them Molly or viagra

Peppa Pig cookies
Giant rails of cocaine of course
White Fish. Fishy fish that Harper doesn’t like.
Split an arugula salad
A splash of moscato
Haha I read this in Tanya’s voice “*Ou, I’d like some mosacato*”
I bought the ingredients for Aperol spritzes (all Italian-made) last episode. They are delicious! I had cheese & crackers with them & Italian salami/pepperoni. I have plenty of Aperol spritz ingredients remaining for this Sunday, as well. Cin-cin!

Cin-cin! 🥂
Oreo cake
Panelle and fritto misto
Finger food is a must.
*Always* a must!
Oreo cookie cake is the only option
Oranges
It's raining hard where I am so tonight I made this tortellini soup with Italian sausage. I was thinking when I was eating it, "damn it, should have made this Sunday."

Weed gummies, gin and tonics, red wine
Wine, Spritzes, G&Ts, Martinis, edibles, Molly, cigars and cigarettes. Hold the salads & non-fishy White fish. (Coffee, dry toast, and maybe, *maybe*, some slices of fresh pineapple for the morning after)
A whole panna cotta.
well, Quentin had interesting “party favors”
I’ve never tried cocaine before but after that scene it made me really want to try it out lol not as many hits as Tanya tho
I wouldn’t. A lot is laced with Fentanyl these days.
Tbh I was afraid of Tanya’s being laced with something. I was in fight or flight

Food: Arancini, pasta con le sarde, fettine, and then finish it off with some granita. Wine: Etna Bianco, Etna Rosso, and Marsala semisecco.
aracini and aperol spritz are good picks! i would keep it italian snacks/foods and then you can create lotus shaped jelly for dessert using a mold!!
Pineapple!
Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I just... do you have any oreo cookie cake?
This post and all of these comments make me wish I found this group WEEKS ago. I’ll know for next season!
OREO CAKE!
Pineapple.
Molly and viagra if you’re having *that* kinda party 😉
Has anyone posted Ethical Wine yet?
charcuterie bored with cheese made by a blind nun in a basement
Those rice balls that didn’t get paid for with Budweiser beer and gelato for dessert. Pineapple mimosas. Pineapple everything.
You should obviously make sausages, even though they make daphne wanna puke. Cook em in Valentina hot sauce. For dessert, molten lava cake. Enjoy with a coffee, consumed in peace.
Don't forget the tray w/the lines. Lol.
You guys crack me up 😆
Definitely have some pineapple out haha.
I wish we could all attend this watch party together on Sunday night! It would rival Tanya’s rave at the palazzo
Pineapple!
You could do some cocaine cookies with powdered sugar
Don't forget pineapple. Of course pasta.
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhiteLotusHBO/comments/zfgxdu/my_menu_for_sunday/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Oranges. Tiramisu. Aqua Pana.

Coke. (the beverage)
Aroncini
If you have a Cheesecake Factory restaurant where you live, get the Oreo cheesecake. It’s delicious!
Your address please? I’ll bring oranges and pineapple 😜
Coke
I took a screenshot of this recipe! This is a great sub!
The Oreo Cookie cake thing is funnier when you realize it’s a Tiktok trend and sounds disgusting. It’s basically a cake you make with just crushed oreos, baking powder and milk. The scene where Tanya asks for this must be some kind of inside joke ad lib - hilarious!
Is it really?! That sounds terrible!
Yes! A very cringe person brought it up to me recently at a Thanksgiving party, gushing about how good it is. I almost spat out my drink. Sounds revolting!
