DC Dinner Divas
In early 2010, Divas A, K & N were having a delicious dinner in a wine bar discussing their New Year's Resolutions while sampling various wines and eating small plates. In previous years all three ladies had all been plowing through their Zagat guides enjoying what D.C. has to offer. This year, these ladies wanted to see more of each other and Diva E (who missed this particular dinner out), cook more and spend less money on dining out while not compromising the time they spent socializing. This is how DC Dinner Divas came to be. On March 3, 2010, we gathered for our first dinner club at Diva A's place. Since then, our greatest hits have included stew cooked in a pumpkin, gingerbread martinis (a.k.a. truth serum), a king cake and a roast goose! The hostess picks the theme for the evening and then the rest of the divas interpret it as they wish to fit the main course. There have been some fabulous guest divas, and two divas who moved away and we miss. We all have our strengths from picking interesting themes, to setting an awesome table, or finding the coolest recipes. We all enjoy trying new things and the excuse to make time to get together. |
