there were a lot of contributors to this year's international dinner
I tried getting everyone to explain the dishes they brought
but no one seemed to care once the food coma set in
so pictures will have to do this time
I displayed the Scottish treats on my new cupcake stand
some light appetizers
marble bread and Norwegian snacks (including brown cheese)
Greek eggplant dip and cardamom squares (Indian maybe?)
homemade pretzels with spicy mustards
Korean short ribs, shepard's pie, and two kinds of enchiladas
(one with delicious homemade mole sauce)
dig in
didn't get a close up, but on the right side of the table in this picture
there is Russian soup (w/noodles & veggies) and a Thai rice dish (w/pineapple, cashews, spices)
making Mexican flag shots
Mexican Flag Shot
1oz grenadine
1oz green creme de menthe
1oz tequila
for dessert we had apple cakes
and deep fried ice cream! (thanks to the kleins)
they were made up of vanilla ice cream balls brushed with egg and coated w/corn flakes
dipping them (for only about 8 sec) in the fry daddy
and they're done
but what to do with the rest of the fryer oil?
mix up some quick pancake batter and fry anything within arms reach
hooray!
string cheese, oreos, marshmallows
small pickles
this mallow was left in too long and it shot out from the batter
cardamom bar
chocolate chip cookie
great success!
