Club Turning Point

BB — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 21:56:57 +0000

Well it seems as though our club is at a major turning point. In life “shit happens” and “things change” all the time. As people’s lifes change through time, so do their interests and activities. Mike and Maureen have decided to leave the club and we wish them the best, and we hope they will be our guests sometime in the future. So the remaining members have some decisions to make about the club’s future now and we can discuss them at the next Dinner. The next Dinner will be at our house (Bob and Sally) and we want to get a date out soon. Our theme is going to be “PARTY ON” and we all bring 2 nice appetizer dishes, including our guests. More on this in another post….

Our next club dinner party is a “GO” for next Saturday Night. July 18th 2009. The dinner is at Jim and Judy’s house and the theme is Backyard Barbeque. Jim and Judy’s friend and guest for the dinner will be Ben who is doing his barbeque chichen recipe and Jim is making RIBS. Judy says to bring bathing suits and towels for a late night dip in the hot tub. So thats the plan and we’ll see you all then.

BB — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:09:16 +0000

As long as we get confirmation from everyone it looks like our next dinner is going to be July 18th at Jim and Judy’s house. No theme yet but we’ll find out soon.

Next Club Dinner

BB — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 16:11:05 +0000

Well here’s the latest on the next club gathering. Judy and Jim say that their April is filled and they can’t do it till May. Judy put out the dates, May 16th or the 23rd. Well the 16th won’t work because the Browne’s and Rinkers will be doing the annual Camp Jam Festival that weekend. Now the 23rd works for the Browne’s so what does anyone else have to say. As for a dinner out! Maybe an outing with the members that will be around in April?? Any ideas or thoughts on this??

Had a blast in Jamaica!

BB — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 18:53:55 +0000

Last nights Jamaican Dinner is now part of Gourmet Dinner Club history. A fantastic feast of authentic Jamaican cuisine. Plus being at Mike and Maureens house with beer on tap and all the other beverages we had to sample it was a major party!! Mike and Mareen outdid themselves as they always do and hosted an excellent party. We were glad to have our guest couples with us, Gus & Carol and Brad & Samatha. Both couples have been to our dinners before and we had a great night! Only bad thing about the evening was the absence of Judy Wert who was home sick. Hope your feeling better Judy!!

A big Thank You goes out to Mike and Maureen and everyone else that attended and helped make last night party another one to remember.

More to come about the Dinner itself but for now you can take a look at my pictures.

HERE’S THE GALLERY

Next Dinner? Next Week!!!

BB — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 21:54:50 +0000

We’re going to Jamaica Mon!

One week to go until the next gathering of Our Gourmet Dinner Club. Theme is going to be Jamaican which means tropical drinks and spicey food. Hope everyone has there recipes together and is ready to party! Have not heard from Mike and Maureen about their chosen main dish yet or about the guest couple they are having. So far it will all be a surprise. The countdown is on and next Saturday night will be here before we know it. See you all then!!

Cuisine of Jamaica contains cooking techniques, flavors, spices and influences from each of the many waves of immigration to the island. Today, dishes which grace nearly every Jamaican menu include curry goat, fried dumplings, ackee and salt fish (cod) (the national dish of Jamaica), fried plantain, “jerk”, steamed cabbage and “rice and peas” (pigeon peas or kidney beans).
