Dining with Friends
If you enjoy casual dining, cooking and eating good food with friends and neighbors, Dining with Friends is the group for you. And you don’t have to be a gourmet cook to join! How does it work? An organizer / primary hostess has been chosen for each of the winter months (below). A second hostess has also been chosen should the number of participants exceed 6 or 8 people. The primary hostess plans the menu and each participanting couple selects the portion of the meal that she / he will prepare. It’s that simple. The host couple provides wine, beer or mixed drinks before dinner and coffee afterwards. The cost of the ingredients purchased, including the dinner wine is divided equally among the couples. If you want to join the group contact the organizer / hostess indicated below:
