Hosted Supper Club
Our turn to host Supper Club came up again. What with one thing and another, this was only the sixth Supper Club held in the ten months since we hosted our Tapas night back in May of 2008. Here's the list:
July 26, 2008 - The Don and sparklie_lady - Summer Grill Fest. We dined al fresco.
September 13, 2008 - darlox and gieves - Pixie Dust & Cellulose. A disturbingly science based meal with interesting textures and reactions. Pop rocks cheesecake for the win.
October 4, 2008 - indy_was_here and stampinmak - Oktoberfest. We dined al fresco... in October. It was chilly. Fortunately, there was a great quantity of home prepped sausage.
November 22, 2008 - butterandjelly - About the Boot. Italian cuisine, garlic heavy.
January 31, 2009 - AM and CGM - One Night In Marrakech. This was the first supper club that we missed, as xhollydayx was in the ER that night. Alas. Since a number of other people couldn't make it, I call for a repeat :-)
February 21, 2009 - cynic51 and xhollydayx. Sit at the Big Kids Table. Our theme was kids food remixed, which is to say a standard kids item tarted up for Supper Club. Over the next few days I'll be elaborating on the recipes for each of items served. Here is the menu to whet your appetite.
First Course
Mojito Jello Shots
Apples w/Truffle Honey
Cheesy Prosciutto Puff Pastry Rounds
Second Course
Baked Chicken Strips
Thick and Velvety Spicy Tomato Soup
Crostini
Third Course
Macaroni & Cheese
Fourth Course
Grown-Up Milk & Cookies
Incidentals
Sprecher Root Beer, Cream Soda and Ginger Ale
Danzante Pinot Noir (2007, Italy)
Donnigan Hills Chardonnay (2007, U.S.)
White Grape Juice
Conclusions
Including ourselves, we had 9 total attendees at $20/head.
CF & JF (and LF, but < 12 week olds don't eat much)
darlox and gieves
katspaw156 and 1em

Although it wasn't as clear cut of a success as our last hosting effort, everyone left full. Many took leftovers with them, which I suppose could be interpreted as a failure or as a success. Certainly nobody was complaining :-)
