Gourmet #1

This weekend was our first gourmet. We hosted it, and the theme was Native American food. We spent Friday and Saturday getting ready. We had a lot to do, including clean the house, and buy enough dishes for 16 people. And we had to find a way seat 16 people!
The weather didn't cooperate - it was raining, sleeting, and it even snowed a bit.
But the food turned out well. We made Three Sisters Stew which is touted as being from the Oneida nation. And we made frybread which is apparently a staple to many nations including Navajo, Cree, and Seminole. Both were really easy to make, and everyone seemed to like them.
Our menu consisted of:
Popcorn
Three Sisters Stew
Frybread
Squash bread
Carrots
Acorn Squash
Wild Rice Salad
Honey Apple chicken
Lakota Plum cake
Sioux pudding
Yummy, Yummie, Yummy!!! :)
The company couldn't be beat either. The 16 people we had over included the Gourmet's core group of ten, plus extra guests we (the hosts) invited. We had to have three tables to accomdate everyone. This was the only negative of the night - it decreased how much everyone could talk and get to know each other. I would have liked to talk to more people, more.
We're taking May off, but someone will be hosting our second in June. Yeah!
I feel like I'm missing something.
It was tons of fun - tiring, but fun! Can't wait for the next one!
