Dinner Diva's Goes to Charleston

I finally remembered to snap a couple quick pictures from my phone of our dinner this month (although I missed the appetizers). Rightly fitting that I finally got around to writing about our trip to Charleston and our favorite cooking classes there that I should also write about our dinner group. Last month was my turn to host so I decided to pick the theme of Charleston, inspired by our trip of course. For our meal this month we had:

• Michele brought her version of fried green tomato to start us off 
• Watermelon, Feta & Arugula Salad
• Cornbread from SNOB (my favorite restaurant) 
• Crispy fried fish with low country pickles 
• Spring pea gold rice pirlau 
• Janet brought Strawberry Shortcakes - my favorite! 

I was running way behind this time when the girls got here. Not going to lie it turned into a bit of a team effort trying to get everything to the table in a timely manor. Everything turned out delicious, just as good as at our class. The pickles really complete the fish dish. And you'd be surprised at how well the watermelon goes with the arugula. Another really fun time, although as usual we had tons of food, if I ever make that rice or cornbread again, note to self it feeds a small army!

Next month we're doing baby themed food in honor of Janet's upcoming arrival!
