Dinner Club

Five couples participate in our Dinner Club that we have been doing for 2 years. Each host provides the main course and the rest of us bring dishes to compliment the meal. A couple of the meals that stand out are:

Make Your Own Pizza. My daughter shared a great recipe for pizza dough. I made 5 pizza pies and bought 5 pizza pans (Walmart-cheap). I then had chicken, pepperonis, sausage, 4 kinds of cheese, marinara sauce and a pesto mayonaise sauce, and several veggies to choose from. Each couple shared a pizza and the challenge was for the husband to make the wife's side and visa versa. All couples were very pleased with how they turned out.

Raclette Grill Cooking

A French Raclette Grill was used one night so that each of us could make our own tapa. Apparently these are only sold in France. It reminded us of The Melting Pot Restaurant. We had 2 types of cheese and ham and turkey lunch meat along with some vegies. Each of us put the choices of food on the little cooking pan that went into the grill. There were 6 little pans. On the top of the Raclette is a grill where we placed small french bread and potato slices. The bread toasted while the potatoes warmed up after being pre-cooked. When our food melted/cooked we put it on the bread. It was lots of fun.

Game Time

Almost each dinner club meeting we have an activity such as a game after dinner. My favorite was the night in January (Super Bowl month)

We have played Wii, board games and a very old version of Wheel of Fortune on the TV.
