July Dinner Club Recap

I know you are all "ears" to hear about our corny dinner this month!

The evening started with a trip down memory lane...Grapes was cleaning out her photo collection, and came across this gem from her bachelorette party 10 years ago!  Now that'scorn-fed boy!

We had a field day at Couscous' crib, with her fun summer dishes.

Grapes got the evening off to a tasty start with peppers (jalopeno and sweet reds) stuffed with cornbread  and wrapped with bacon (or unwrapped for the vegetarians!)

And a bottle of  Dialed In red wine, because the label looked like the end of a corn cob??   You be the judge.



 Couscous' culinary contribution consisted of buttercrust corn pie with fresh tomato salsa. A saltine cracker crust that was scrumptious!


Paprika created her own side dish by combining three different recipes for a delicious rice salad with black beans, corn (roasted over an open camp fire!), peppers and a vinaigrette.











Her wine contribution was a refreshing sauvignon blanc from Nobilo.


No one had a batch of corn based wine ready, but there was talk of heading down to West Virginia to sample some Apple Pie Moonshine!














Saucy completed our corn fest with a spice cake made with creamed corn and a caramel icing.  Amaizeing! and she served it in theme appropriate dishes - Corn Cob plates!!





















Check back soon for details on our next dinner club!  We are on a roll!!!
