2013 Supper Clubs
The sixth year of Supper Club featured five dinners, one potluck, and one cancelled event. Recap!!!
January - I've already written extensively about the Jewish Soul Food night I hosted.
March - ayb2 and Brent hosted an event for Pi Day. There are no prizes for guessing that a lot of different pies were served to the 12 or so people who attended, including chicken pot, shepherd's and lemon meringue.
April - katspaw156 and 1em hosted for the first time in many years. They did street foods, meaning all sorts of foods that are served at street carts throughout the world. I enjoyed the kushary, and bhel puri chaat and really everything else that was served, except possibly the boiled peanuts, which were just weird. 12 people crowded around the table for this one.
June - butterandjelly and Anil did Mexican foods, but I was on vacation so I can't tell you how it went.
Later in June - Carol & John hosted a Supper Club potluck. We had 9 grown ups and several kids.
After a solid first half to the year with five different events, we only had one event in the last six months. Ok, maybe 1.5.
September - The originally scheduled event was cancelled due to illness. ayb2 and Brent stepped up on short notice to serve a pot roast with some pot luck action (I brought scotch). It came out well in spite of the improvised nature of the event.
November - Carol & John hosted a Supper Club. A paltry five members (plus two guests) attended, but they got to enjoy a really clever theme: "Dinner and a Movie; Hold the Movie". Forrest Gump contributed five kinds of shrimp and a box of homemade chocolates. Silence of the Lambs had the inevitable liver, fava beans and chianti. John improvised little soy-lentil crackers shaped like gingerbread men - that's right, it was Soilent Green! There was also apple pie (American Pie) and Ratatouille. This meal somehow had the only two foods I loathe, liver and eggplant, and was still really good.
I'm booked again for January, and hopefully the tradition will continue.
