The Foodies Return For 2008

After a seven month hiatus the Kenosha Foodies have returned for another year of dining excellence. Our reunion gather was held at the home of Kim and Beth Dary on New Years Eve, 2007. I must say that it was a wonderful evening and it was great to reunite the group for what will most certainly be another run of culinary fancy. The goal of the hosts on this, the eve of another year, was to provide appetizers representative of the arrival of the New Year around the globe. Listed below are most of the items enjoyed coupled with their home of origin:

Japan Sushi (seaweed wrapped sushi rice, cucumber, smoked salmon with wasabi, teryaki and soy dip as desired)

Korea Hot Kim Chee (spicy pickled won boc cabbage)

Australia Cheese and Sage Damper (a dense, round loaf of seasoned and cheesy bread)

France Tapenade (we served two varieties of this chopped, seasoned cracker spread)

Morocco Moroccan Potato and Bean Soup (well seasoned and spicy)

New York Cheesecake

Hawaii Kalua Pig (smoked pork shoulder slow cooked and shredded)


Beth and I would like to thank Don, Peggy and Dan for joining us and for providing some excellent beverage options. We hope that you enjoyed your evening as much as we did. We look forward to our next gather which will be hosted by Don and Peggy February 2nd. Until then, Bon Apetite...
