Kenosha Foodies

Kenosha Foodies is a food club in Kenosha, WI that meets monthly and is hosted on a rotating basis by it's members. The idea is to cook and eat great food and have fun doing it. The host selects a theme for the evening and creates and prepares the menu. Anything goes. Pushing out of the comfort zone is encouraged.

Post Prandial Review

Well, another session of the K-Town Foodies is behind us and with what I must consider mixed reviews. Speaking wholly for myself, I enjoyed a couple of items a bit more than some others. In particular, I must say the the shrimp and chorizo skewers were quite tasty. I'm not sure that I like the texture of the chorizo much but the flavor was excellent! As for the gazpacho, I thought it was refreshing and pretty tasty. One could certainly find the subtle flavors of most of the ingredients within the cold soup, but I think I am more partial to hot soups as a whole. The grilled ham and cheese sandwiches were very good but I cannot say that I was a real fan of the hot, spiced olives. Maybe this is because I usually don't eat olives unless they are the desert after a martini or old fashioned. All in all, the meal was good but I feel as though I did not really push the package as much as I should have. I will extend those limitations on our next endeavor. I would like to thank Don and Peggy for a very good evening and a wonderful new chair to add to our patio accessories. Listed below you may find the recipes used in this past meal, if you are led to try them again. Until next time.......

I agree that the skewers were great, and the gazpacho was a very nice compliment to the meal. My favorite was also the grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. What a great take on an old classic.

Not sure what you mean, Kim, about not pushing the package. Peggy and I really enjoyed the selections and how they fit together. As always, it was a terrific evening with great food and great friends.
