March 2009: The 80's!

Cooking club went back to the 80's for a totally rad party at Angela's! Everyone brought dishes that reminded them of the 80's and oh yes, we dressed the part!

Everyone received goody bags with jelly bracelets, sunglasses and fun 80's candy like nerds.
We took some fun pictures and walked like Egyptians!
Look at those earrings!
We started with a wonderful quiche prepared by Janet in Honor of the famous 80's book Real Men Don't Eat Quiche.
Ashley prepared a beautiful Egyptian dish of couscous and shrimp on a bed of fresh spinach. This dish if you can guess is in honor of the song Walk Like Egyptians from the Bangles.
Heidi prepared a delightful cold tomato and basil soup inspired by the song All Cried Out Over You.
Bonnie prepared a chilled eggplant salad from Sierra Leone. A We Our the World inspiration.
"Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti..."
Angela made mini hamburgers inspired by the famous commercial "Where's the Beef"!
And Christina made a yummy tiramisu, apparently very popular in the 80's. She also made some awesome vegan rice crispy treats!
All during CC we recalled our favorite music, movies and other pop culture of the 80's. It was all great fun! We took some more pictures in our shades and some of us called it a night! Others went out to the Congo lounge for 80's nights, where Ashley won BEST dressed! Go Ashley!
Annmarie even made a appearance and joined in on the fun.
