I do remember those gourmet dinner parties. I remember being excited when you’d have them at other houses because we’d get to have a babysitter, eat TV dinners and watch Wonder Woman on TV.

I remember you all having one at our house and you set up a little table for the kids in the play room or my bedroom… one of those. I vividly remember getting to drink grape juice out of plastic champagne flutes. I can remember that like it was yesterday. I remember someone serving us like it was a restaurant. It was so much fun!

I love the idea of the hostess sending recipes to the guests to make… it would force us to stretch out of our cooking comfort zone some.

We would pick a different country each month and the hostess would furnish the meat and research recipes and give them to the other members to make for side dishes and salads and desserts. I think one of my favorites was Gillian Rampley with an English dinner–she was from England and we had roast beef and yorkshire pudding. Easter, we had leg of lamb with as she put it, a "proper mint sauce." It was lots of fun and we enjoyed it greatly for over a year while we lived on 30th Drive.

Your so close, you’ll have to pick one to come to. I could have a locals party as one of my themes. Wouldn’t that be fun?
