Our Tuscan Dinner at Bob and Sally’s house this past Saturday night was delicious. It was a smaller than usual party as our guests backed out and Jim was not feeling well so he and Judy didn’t come either. But that didn’t stop us from having a great dinner and party to boot. Sally hustled up an appetizer. She made vadallia onion pizzas that were quite tasty. Annette made a hearty eggplant soup that was yummy and Maureen made a fresh tomato, basil salad with balsamic vinigar. Next came the entre. Sally made Tuscan Rosemary Roasted Chicken that was served with Maureen and Mike’s Pasta with homemade sauce. All very delicious. For dessert we had an assortment of Italian (style) cookies and Lemon Water Ice in martini glasses. After all that eating we sat back and talked for a while, drank a little more, then called it a night. A good night at that.
Wanna see the pictures??

Sally and I are looking at dates for the next dinner and figure September would be the first possibility. September 6th, 13th, or 27th would be the proposed dates we have open. If we can get some feed back on that we can try to get it all together and get the next dinner plan under way! Not sure about a theme yet but we are bouncing some ideas around. Email me or Sally with yays or nays on the dates mentioned. If we can’t do it on one of the above mentioned dates we will have to look at October.

Dinner at the Wert House 6/28/08

Our dinner at Jim and Judy’s is now part of history. We had a wonderful party with great food, a long soaking in the hot tub, too much beer and wine, and lots of laughter. We had an additional guest, Judy’s long time girlfriend Chris joined us, making it a party of 11 with Carol and Gus joining us too.
We started out with plenty of appetizers. Annette and Rink brought some kind of delicious grainy crackers and a chic pea spread/dip that got us all thinking Mediterranian and Chris made a Spanish Tortilla which was a baked potato, cheese and egg dish. Very Mediterranian! Mike and Maureen also brought an appetizer of clams with spicey sausage and white beans.
I could have walked away then but there was much more to come. We took a little break and endulged in some more drink and what not,,, then gathered around the table and had some chilled Sally Browne Gaspacho with some big croutons. Even after all the appetizers this was very refreshing and went down very well. Then we had a fresh green salad that Annette made with some home grown veggies along with her homemade Salad Dressing.
