Dinner Club Kick-off

After months of planning and prepping we finally kicked off our dinner club last night. If you've never heard of dinner club, what happens is that each couple takes turns hosting. If you host, you pick the theme and the main course. From there each couple brings one dish and the dish you are responsible for rotates each month. The couple who hosted this month decided on a luau theme. Fortunately the weather cooperated and it was a perfect night for it. Between the music, the decorations and the amazing food, I almost felt like we were on vacation!

Everyone went all out and the food was delicious! Here is the menu:

Pre-dinner drink~ Blue Hawaiian

Appetizer~ Coconut Shrimp

Salad~ Greens w/ hearts of palm, goat cheese, and a citrus vinaigrette

Side~ Pineapple fried rice

Main course~ Kalua pork

Dessert~ Macadamia Fudge Torte

We are looking so forward to next month!

I took a little video of Talan today. I keep forgetting that I can't hold my camera long ways to record so the video is sideways. My neck is killing me after watching it a couple of times! If you're up for bending your head to the side for 35 seconds here it is: He is finally getting stronger and doing so much better sitting up. But the teething? Holy cow! It's killing us. He cried for 75% of the day today, only stopping to eat and sleep. I feel terrible for the little guy. Hopefully that second tooth will pop through soon. Thanks for reading.
