Shall We Move Our Virtual Supper Club Here?

Just noticed this brand new board! Cool!!! Do you think we should move the V.S.C. here, or keep doing it via the Great Food board?

Hi! In response to your question, I can t do better than to quote Kentgirl s message when she first proposed this idea. Since then there have been 2-3 Virtual Supper Club events. If you have any questions, just ask! Hope you re interested in joining in; it s fun! And now, this is what Kentgirl had to say:

I thought of an idea that might be fun....let's get together for dinner. OK, I know that won't really work, but here's what we can do:
Let's plan a meal or meals together. For example, if you want to participate, "sign up" for a category for a meal, pick a recipe you'd like to try, then make the recipe you choose, and then share your review of that recipe with everyone else.

What we'll end up with is a menu (or menus) that we all came up with together, complete with reviews for each recipe.

I'm making up rules as I go, but let's say the recipe you choose for your category should be one you have never made and should be a CL recipe. One recipe per category, and once all categories in a meal is chosen, then start another meal plan.

Here's the categories I'm proposing for each "meal":
--Appetizer, Salad or Soup
--Main Dish
--First Side Dishe (pasta, vegetables, rice, potatoes, etc.)
--Second Side Dishe (pasta, vegetables, rice, potatoes, etc.)
--Bread/Rolls
--Dessert
--Suggested Wine (up to 3 choices)

I'll start by choosing a Main Dish for the first Meal, which I found in CL Recipe Finder: Chicken in Wine Cream Sauce. Here's the link - http://www.cookinglight.com/recipefinder/recipe.asp?rid=6367

Now someone choose a recipe for the remaining categories that compliment this dish, and post your recipe selection. One category/recipe per person, unless you're a wine connoisseur then go ahead and suggest a wine.

Let's make our recipe sometime in the next few days (Thursday, Friday and Saturday); and post your reviews Sunday or Monday.

Keep track of the categories, and if you're the last person to sign up for a meal, then maybe you can summarize the "menu" in your post.

And if you see any way to make this whole idea better, please do so (such as additional categories, how to keep track of meals, etc.). Remember, we'll make up rules as we go, but I think this could be fun, and I can't wait to see the "meal plans" that we come up with together!!
