The dinner started with conversation, introductions, and Gerry's Midori Martinis and Mary Ellens Asian Lettuce Wraps and Linda's Sweet and Sour Dip with Rice Crackers.
We moved to the dining room table and first had Julie's Coconut Curry Soup (with chicken) and poured white wine, water and teas into glasses and cups. The main courses and sides were Linda P.'s Asian Salad, Kathy's Hot Cabbage and Chicken, Sandy's Shrimp Fried Rice, and my Asian Cucumbers. After MUCH sharing and conversation and talk, we ended the dinner with Sue S.'s HOMEMADE, delicious fortune cookies, Donna's plum wine, and my trio of ice creams - the same as last year: Green Tea with a candied almond, Ginger-Ginger, and Star Anise.
