September Dinner Recap

We tied one on for this dinner club

No, knot that kind of tie!

This kind of Thai!

Grapes got us going with not 1, but 2 appetizers: 
Thai peanut cheese ball

and the spicy thai chex mix...that wasn't
Well, it was chex mix, but it lost its peanut thai taste in translation.

Grapes' wine of choice was a Blackstone Merlot

Saucy slaved over a scrumptious entree of tofu and chicken pad thai
Chicken Pad Thai

Tofu Pad Thai




















Couscous rolled up with vegetarian spring rolls and a thai dipping sauce (oops, no pic of the dipping sauce available) 

Her wine selection was Sin Zin - Zinfandel

Paprika's tasty traditional thai dessert was
Khao Niaow Ma Muang (Mango Sticky Rice Pudding)

Next month we get twisted for dinner!!

SEPTEMBER DINNER W.I.T.


UPCOMING DINNER:  SEPTEMBER

HOSTESS: SAUCY

THEME: THAI
August Dinner Club Recap

You say tomato, I say tomato

Paprika hosted a home-grown get-together!

Saucy started us off with a bottle of Red Truck (red like tomato, farm truck) Pinot Noir

Paprika put our potluck portions on her new poppy plates!



















Saucy's appetizer of chocolate and yellow tomatoes (no they did not taste like chocolate) with basil and mozzarella was refreshing.

Paprika followed with an entree of Pasta Eger: angel hair aglio olio with tomatoes, spinach, banana peppers and parmesan cheese.  Delicioso!!
 

Couscous shared a Rex-Goliath Pinot Grigio because the Rooster was farm-like.

Her side dish was a caprese salad with lemon herb dressing



















Grapes ended the evening with a tomato soup cake - yes in the soup can itself!



















The cans were our take-home gift, so she prepared a bundt cake version for us to have at dinner.

Join us next month when we "Thai" one on!
