Since the collecting of shares happens after dinner, and I'm not staying for dinner, what time should I plan to arrive?

I'm very much looking forward to this. Thank you, Cathy, for organizing.

Hi,

If you want to come after dinner, after 8 PM. You can come earlier, if you want to socialize.

I just finished making my contribution: country ham and mushrooms in a cream sauce. I will make the biscuits to accompany it late tomorrow afternoon.

Regards,

No porcupines?

HI,

Porcupines will have to be for another day. I had a lot of ham leftover plus a pound of mushrooms, so it seemed like the best use.

My apologies for disappointing you.

Regards,

Thanks. According to CTA-Google Trip Planner, I should be there about 7:15.

Hi,

Tonight we met for dinner before exchanging our bounty. The meal began with chicken soup with a large chicken leg in each serving:



There was Shopska (Greek) and Cabbage salads:



A large moussaka made with potatoes, bechemal sauce and meat with no eggplant inside:



A cross section of a slice:



Braised veal:



Noodles:



An unexpected sidedish of braised leeks, prunes and mushrooms:



Meat and cheese burek, which Deta makes in lightening speed as demonstrated here.



Dessert of baklava and an apple filled cake:



The evening ended with an exchange of food made by our friends for consumption later on:



An excellent use of time on a dreary Monday evening.

Regards,

Big thanks to Cathy for organizing last night's dinner. Fighting a bad cold, the chicken soup and later the buttered homemade noodles were just what I needed.

So, happystomach, what was the super-secret story on that chocolate stout cake?
