Some info about our Gourmet Group*: We enjoy cooking, entertaining, and most of all, each other’s company.
We take turns hosting in our homes. The host decides on the menu (theme) from appetizers to dessert for the evening. The host prepares most of the meal, but gives at least one course to the others (along with all the recipes) to cook. We love trying new recipes and ideas. So most of the time the recipes are ones we haven’t cooked before, but they don’t have to be.
Special dedication: This post is dedicated to SRC, one of our own*, who lost his battle with Stage 4 cancer last December 2019. We miss you, Dear Friend – your love for people & for good food, and the big smile and spirit you carried with you. Although your chair is empty at our table, your place is forever engrained in our hearts!
If your idea for entertaining friends or family in your home is ordering take-out, or maybe you just don’t have time to cook that day, consider ordering everyone’s favorite dishes from a local Chinese restaurant.
Here is an idea for a quick, easy, and inexpensive great tablescape for such a dinner party.
