Weekly Dinner



My housemate Dane had the brilliant suggestions of eating together once a week like a family. We decided that we would each have a partner (yea for the buddy system) and cook for the rest of the house on our specified day. We have done this three times so far and it is definitely comething that we all look forward to. It is our version of like Soup Night and/or Supper Club if you know what they are. Week one was Tortilla Espanola, week 2 cheese fondue and chocolate fondue with fruit, last week was me and Sara who made spinach mousse (possibly my favorite dish ever), my Gramma Myers' amazing shrimp primavera, and the pièce de la résistance was a strawberry-kiwi tart with cinnamon. YUM. Cooking the spinach mousse proved to be a bit of a challenge as they sell neither spinach nor cream of chicken soup here (or breadcrumbs now that i think about it), so we got creative. It turned out to be delicious, to my extreme relief. The pasta was good but not as good as when Gramma makes it.
