Dinner Club

Last night was our Valentine Dinner Club. It was at Jen and Kevin's house and they had a 'red and white' theme for valentine's Day. All food had to be red and white and attire had to be red and white (although some people said they didn't have red). We have one "bye" month in the rotation, and it falls the month after you have hosted. We hosted the last dinner club (way back in October...we take the holiday months off), so this was our bye month!

Pre-Dinner drink was 'Raspberry Cheesecake Martinis' and Red Snapper shots (Chris & Ana)

For appetizers we had

Artichoke dip with Crostini (Doug and Tabitha)
and
Shrimp and Crab 'salad'...(it was DELISH!!....crab meat, tomatoes, artichokes, aioli, shrimp...served on bagel crisps. YUM) (Chris and Ashley)

Soup was Gazpacho (Rob and Terri)

Salad was Caprese salad with Pesto (Scott and Kat)

Bread was heart-shaped homemade focaccia (Scott and Kris)

Main course was Fire Roasted Shrimp pasta with feta (YUM) (The Hosts)

Dessert was mini cheesecakes. The crust had a toffee flavor that was so yummy! (Travis and Pam)

Dinner was very good with LOTS of laughs and lots of wine! LOL

The night started off pretty tame





But quickly moved upstairs and turned into a dance party!









The night ended with this (not sure why)



It was a fabulous Valentine's!!
