For those of you who don't know, Ben and I are in a dinner club and what that means is that once a month we get together with a group of friends for dinner. We rotate houses, the hostess plans the whole menu and mails to each person the recipes that she needs done, then we all bring our dishes and have a kickin meal together. We've been meeting since September of '04, what a blast it's been! We've all helped each other move, we've welcomed in 3 new babies and are going to get another in september, it's just been so awesome doing life with these guys! Anyways, Ben and I hosted April and we chose to do a Japanese theme for our dinner. We picked a menu and setting that was a bit more on the modern Japanese side, it was so much fun doing it together!
When we got married we chose some asian dishes and really got to put them to use on this night!
Ben is really into Sushi, so we set up our own little sushi bar and he made all kinds of rolls and other tasty sushi treats! We bought some fresh caught shrimp and prepped them for rolls...
They had to be skewered so that they wouldn't curl when they were boiled.
The finished product.
The master sushi chef at work.
A beautiful 'Rainbow Roll', which is an inside out roll with salmon and two kinds of tuna on top...nice job Ben!
The table setting...lots of little dishes to fit on!
Enjoying dinner together!
Dessert was amazing! A Plum wine sherbet...Yummy!
While we were enjoying sushi some of the girls made some origami.
