Dinner Club: Emeril Lagasse
There was a theme that we noticed about the food at our dinner club last month. It was rich, feel-good, comfort food.
So that's one of the things that I'll think of when I think of our chosen celebrity chef, Emeril Lagasse. Before this dinner, when his name came to mind, my first thought was his popular and very loud catchphrase, "Bam!" I thought he was a bit over the top.
Maybe he is. But I have to say that his recipes combined very well and made for quite an enjoyable and delicious meal.
Looking at these pictures I have to laugh, because there are no people in them. One of the best things about the dinner club is our gathering together as a group. Since reading Kinfolk Magazine, I've been thinking a bit more about the idea of gatherings. How they happen and what makes a successful gathering.
Playing games before and sometimes after the meal is part of the fun too. Since there are usually some new people at our dinners, it gives us a chance to interact in a different way.
The game Apples to Apples is hilarious and I've played it several times now. It's really interesting seeing how people think and make choices. I highly recommend it.
We had two types of macaroni and cheese. What a feast!
Risotto is one of my favorite things. This one was so good. I had to have seconds!

I remember when he starred in his sitcom a few years ago, on NBC I think. They managed to have it air on prime time opposite his Food Channel show. I tried to watch the sitcom, but found the actual cooking show to be far more entertaining and watched that instead.
