January gathering

The 15th Ragamuffin Cooking Club is hereby announced!

Theme: Spanish Tapas
Date & Time: Saturday, January 20th, 6:30pm
Place: Chad & Karen's

For those of you not familiar with the "little dishes" known as tapas, check out a definition here with a list of possible dishes. There are about 10 cookbooks at the local libraries available that have tapas recipes, but if you want something online, look here or here or here or here. The key is to make these into small portions, like appetizers. Don't forget to bring your recipes!

We need signups for the following:
  • tapas
  • tapas
  • tapas
  • tapas
  • dessert tapas
  • etc. :)
  • sodas
  • wine
Also: Amazingly, at our New Year's Eve gathering, we sketched out some club themes through April, and looked at calendars to see if switching to the 3rd Saturday of each month would work... so tentatively, mark the third Saturday off for 2007, and here is the schedule for the next few:
  1. Feburary 17 - Mardi Gras (Cajun food)
  2. March 17 - St. Patty's Day (British Isles / Irish food)
  3. April 21 - Iron Chef competition (secret ingredient)

  • I will bring some sort of empanada--I saw a recipe for one with mushroom and ham and I'll probably go with that.

  • Would it be okay if we bring Rose's sister and her husband? If it's necessary, we could even bring another dish.

  • Phil - absolutely! no problem. Heather and Jill won't be able to make it this weekend but I think Jonthan's still bringing the Patatas Bravas.
