Arabian Nights--Gourmet group


It was gourmet group again this weekend, and my friends Jackie and Dierdre did not disappoint! We were treated to an evening of middle eastern cuisine, great atmosphere, and even belly dancing!

They transformed Jackie's living room by placing the tables on the floor and lining the walls with rich colored fabric. There were pillows all over the floor for sitting and lounging.

They used candles abundantly and the pretty beaded napkin holders were also our bracelets that we got to take with us. You can see the menu in the top photo. My favs were the apricot feta salad, the squash with walnuts, and who can resist baklava?

I wasn't kidding about the belly dancing either. What a fun surprise! We had a performance and then a little lesson. I wonder if I could ever master it. I hear it's good exercise!

Thanks for a great evening, Dierdre and Jackie!
