Ourselves and two other couples would take turns on hosting and the food was always amazing, almost a competition, hehe.
My wife and I are definitely going to have to get some practice in before our turn. Do you have a specialty dish?
Oh, we are also planning as a local group to do a weekday event, where one family makes a lot of easy to prepare food and everyone joins in for an hour or two. It gives everyone a bit of a rest and keeps us talking :)
Hummm? Specialty dish, oh so many I could recommend, depends on the crowd.
I find a great dish to have , and you can do it ahead of time, a veggie lasagna. Simple to make, usually a crowd pleaser. Then get yourself a nice big wild caught salmon filet, dress it up a little and throw it on the grill, can be baked also...oh so good.
I like the weekday gathering idea, even just for appy's and a nice glass of wine.
Fun to just hang out and chat.
Thanks for stopping in.
One thing that is quite abundant here is salmon, which generally come in from Norway. I was thinking about the lasagna too, but unsure if the veggie one would be a hit with people who eat as much meat as some of my friends :D
