October Dinner Recap

What time is it??  It's Pumpkin Time!!

Unfortunately Grapes couldn't join us as she wasn't feeling well

But we toasted her accordingly......JUST KIDDIN!

Saucy set a festive autumn table

With gourmet gifts (pumpkin malt balls and truffle) and gourds!

Couscous started dinner off with a Warm Pumpkin and Goat Cheese Dip served with Bagel Chips.  The leeks in this dish really made it!

Paprika had some extra squash (acorn and a Japanese kabocha) that she broiled with apples and cinnamon for a substitute side dish.  Okay, so it's not pumpkin, but they are in the squash family and it was a last minute addition and was yummy!

Saucy's entree was homemade pumpkin pasta (see dinner club Feb 2012 for her first foray into pasta making), with sage butter.  Homemade pasta beats out store-bought every time!  Thanks for all the effort Saucy and thanks also go out to her helper "Flour".

Couscous brought a Malbec (yes, there is nothing pumpkin about this one, get over it).

Paprika perfected a pumpkin cheesecake for dessert (her 1st cheesecake ever! and barely a crack in it!)  And she got a couple bicep curls in delivering it to the table!  Who needs a pumpkin pie when you have this scrumptous dessert?

We had balls of fun at dinner club!!  (Yes, after a couple of bottles of wine our inner teenage boys came out!)!!

Watch for us next month as we travel to "Drury Lane"!
