Dinners from around the world!

So, a few years ago, the four-musketeers (soon to be five, with their little one on the way), decided to do dinners about once every month or two. Nina and I being, the creative gals we are, decided to spruce it up a bit!

Here are the details:

• The couple hosting dinner would prepare an appetizer, main course, and a drink from the country chosen by spinning a globe together (at the other couple's house before leaving).
  



• The couple visiting the "country" would bring dessert from the chosen country.




• We eat, drink, and hang with one another for hours, celebrating our friendship and learning more about the country that we "landed on."




• As the months went passed, we added more details to our dinners...lotto tickets (of which our winnings will go towards a trip to one of these countries some time in the future), dressing up like people from that culture, music and fun facts from that country, and of course knowing, where that country is located, as well as their flag.

Our dinners are so completely wonderful, not only because we get to spend time with two of our close friends, but because we get to be silly and at the same time, learn a lot...about the countries, how to cook new things, and about each other.

Here are some fun pictures of dinners of the past (these are only a few I could find in my photo library, but there are TONS!!! We have a cute little scrapbook with all the memories!!)! We are coming up on the 18th country!!! Don't mind some of the silliness...that's just us:)

Next country??? ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
