We met at a different home and made dishes from the next section of our book, Bread and Wine. Section one post here.
We take a lot of photos of our treats! We met in a different friend's home, a farm house that has been in her husbands family for three generations, that she and her husband recently restored. It's gorgeous and homey and a great place to gather.
The other mama's have kids who are a little bit older and I'm learning a lot about parenting teens. As we've had a little interaction with their kids passing through the house and those I see at school occasionally, or work with for the middle school musicals, I'm impressed. They have respectful, mannerly teens. I want that and I'm tucking all this good info away for later!
We cooked and then devoured together watermelon feta salad, mango chicken curry, breakfast cookies, sweet potato fries with sriracha dipping sauce, and an Italian sausage cassoulet. We had to take home our breakfast cookie because there was so much food going on.
I was in charge of the chicken curry and it turned out pretty decent. I guess I just don't really love the curry flavor, but it was fine. Better than my biscuit flop from last month. I thought it would be super spicy but it was not at all.
The watermelon feta salad was amazing! It contained watermelon, feta, mint, arugula, and a balsamic dressing. It had lime as well which gave it a fun flavor. It tasted like a special summer drink. I always think arugula is bitter, but spinach might be a tastier base to the salad next time.
I so enjoy meeting with these ladies. I'm going to have to get better at time management though. I can hardly stay out until 10 and miss an entire evening at home without getting behind a little in every area of life! The papers that needed graded are still not caught up and today I'm the laundry queen! I say that as I take an hour our of my Sunday to post this. Guess a time management class may be needed.
