Dining
This group meets to become familiar with the culture, foods and new ingredients, from countries all over the world. Sometimes one of us may have traveled to one of these countries where we found interesting, different food that would be fun to try to cook and to share the experience with other people who are not afraid to venture into the unknown. We listen to the music of the selected country as well as learn about some of the traditions. We have been known to sing and dance at these fourth Friday of the month! The ambiance of the country is reflected in the table setting, the décor and clothing of the diners. |

Pot Luck Lunch is held on the Third Friday of the month at Noon rotating at different members' homes.

Members enjoy dining at a different restaurant each month. Different members act as the hostesses each month. They are responsible for choosing the restaurant, contacting the people on the group list either by telephone or by e-mail, and then making a reservation for the number of people attending. New members are always welcome. |
