FEBRUARY DINNER RECAP

After a month hiatus, We're Ba-ack!!!!

Grapes welcomed us with a "subway" board and menu board of the evening's edibles!



















As always, she had a beautiful table display!




While sadly none of us are a true "ginger", nor did we dye our "roots" for this month's dinner club...

we did try to fashion our own original dishes from this sassy plant - GINGER!

Grapes got the party started with Moscow Mules

No, not THAT mule!  THESE tasty mules

Paprika had us ready to pull a cart to be rewarded

with Gingered Carrot Latkes and Apple, Green Onion and Jalapeno Salsa

Grapes' first attempt at tofu was a success!!! (No, tofu does NOT have the flavor of straw!).

She created flavorful ginger/coconut tofu and ginger/coconut chicken bites over pineapple rice.

She also had candied ginger for sampling,that had quite a kick!

 Couscous' stubborn side dish of Ginger Carrot Soup was tasty, well what was left anyway after some tricky traffic maneuvers on the way to dinner club.

Saucy completed the evening

with a wonderfully warm Ginger Pear Crisp over frozen yogurt, Ginger Snaps and Ginger Tea!












Yet another successful night of good eats and lots of hee-hawing!

Join us next month when we "Laissez les bon temps rouler!"
