Sunday night supper club: Switzerland

Sammy Craker's crepes, powdered sugar and ligonberry Jam. I think he might have mixed up his countries. But it was a hit.

Chris and Jaime's cheese puffs. Mmm

Radishes and cheese with a mustard vinaigrette from the Kingsleys.

Hogerty's lentils.

Another potato dish that I love. Rosti from Andy Werth. Andy: please post the recipe.

Mary Beth and Pete made this, not sure of the name. Macaroni noodles, with ground beef, cheese, and applesauce on the side.

Jennifer Erikson's tasty chocolate mouse with Pama.

This month's dinner was Swiss food because the tour ended in Switzerland on Sunday. I like to also think it was for Fabian... I wasn't at this party very long so I only have a few pictures. Not enough people pictures. I also don't have a single recipe, so you all are responsible for adding your recipes in the comment section. Thank you Chris and Jaime and Quinn for hosting!

Sunday night supper club: Norway

This party was held at Jennifer Erikson's house. Tons of fun. Waited too long to blog though, so I may not remember exactly what each dish was, or who made it. Sorry.

Difficult to find a Norwegian wine.

Bill Speake

Jennifer's pickled beets, pickled fish, which was better than I expected, and fish in mustard sauce.

Marinated Cucumber Salad (in Swedish, Inlagd Gurka)

Ingredients:

1 cucumber
1/4 cup vinegar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. celery seed
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (or 1 Tbsp. dehydrated onion)
2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley (or 1/2 Tbsp. dried parsley)

Preparation:

Wash and peel cucumber. Cut into paper-thin slices and place into a wide-mouthed jar or other covered container. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cover the jar and shake well until the sugar is dissolved. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. If you have any left over (which I’ve never seen happen), marinated cucumbers will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.

I don't remember the names of all the cheeses. I do not that I never want to eat the brown block of cheese again!

I remember Sam Craker made this, it was delicous. I think it was a salmon dish, but can't be sure

Norwegian crackers

Pam made this impressive cake. http://paninihappy.com/celebrating-4-years-with-a-smorgastarta/

My fillings were:

ham salad- small can ham (not deviled ham), 1/4 C Mayo & chopped gherkins

Pineapple cheese- 1 jar Kraft Pineapple cheese (always found shelf stable next to the Velveeta LOL) + sliced cucumbers

Salmon Salad- 1 small can of salmon, 1/4 C Mayo, 2 Tb capers, ground pepper, & juice of half a lemon


Jennifer Erikson: Scandinavian ceviche: 1 grapefruit 1/2 avocado 4 ounces pre sliced gravlax (or smoked salmon) 2 tbsp finely diced red onion 1. Fillet the grapefruit by first cutting off the peel so that the citrus flesh is exposed. Then cut out the fillets by angling the knife and cutting by the natural partings. The fillets come out in half moon shapes. Cut the fillets into 1/2 inch pieces. 2. Peel and chop the red onion coarsely. Peel the avocado and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Do the same with the salmon slices. 3. Mix all the ingredients in a plastic bowl or plastic bag. Let the mixture soak for at least an hour in the fridge.

Chris made this, but I don't have the recipe. Please add it.


Potato Pancakes. I loved this recipe. I have never had luck with these until now. From The Scandinavian Cookbook: Peel and shred 1 1/3 pounds potatos, mince 4 green onion. Combine both with 4 eggs, 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 1 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped), 1 tsp grated nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Cook in 2 tbsp olive oil. I also made meatballs, which the photo didn't turn out. There were 3 different meatballs at the party, all tasty and different. The meatball recipe comes from http://www.hendricksmn.com/norwegian_recipes.html

Deviled eggs

More meatballs, no recipe

Sunday Night Supper Club: Mexico

Mexican Domestic Partner Cookies by Ellen

Ceviche by Kurt.

Taquitos: I cut 2 pounds pork shoulder into cubes. Cooked it in the pressure cooker with 1 cup of water for 15 minutes. Let cool on it's own. I then added ancho chili paste (from the Month of Mexico) and cooked it over low heat until the raw flavor was gone. Roll into steamed tortillas. Rub with olive oil. Bake in 350 degree oven until crispy. Served with mayo mixed with diced chipotles in adobo.

Kurt's chicken wings in mole. I really wish I had this recipe. It was so good!

Ceviche. I'm sorry to say I don't remember who brought this...this was Jennifer's

Black Beans

Rainbow Trout by Mary Beth and Pete.

Mary Beth and Pete's corn

This time we gathered at Mary Beth and Pete's for a night of Mexican food. Once again I failed on getting the recipes. Please post your recipes on our website...Also not pictured, because they came later and I was well into the margaritas - Dri's carnitas and tres leches and Pam's homemade tortillas.

Sunday Night Supper Club: Ireland

We had an extra supper club in March for St Patrick's Day. Unfortunately, Jack had the flu so I was not able to attend. Here are the photos that Pam took. I don't have any of the recipes, so hopefully everyone will add their recipes.
