Cathy and I had another ‘theme’ dinner last night. This time it was my turn to host and choose the theme. I chose ‘sweet’ with the rule that each item of course had to be sweet AND also from another country. No using a country more than one time. Here’s what we had:
Morocco: Orange Date Salad
Italy: Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Iran: Sweet Rice with Orange & Saffron
China: Sweet & Sour Chicken
Spain: Sangria
America: Orange Creamsicle Drink
France: Fresh Fruit Tart
I chose Morocco, Iran, China and America. Cathy chose Italy, Spain and France. My ‘America’ is questionable; I’m only calling it American because it came from a TGIF Blender Mix. =P I only told Cathy the countries I chose ahead of time but I find it interesting that we both decided to have an alcoholic drink. After all that cooking I think we both needed it!
