Progressive Dinner

A few days ago, our group here on the compound decided to stage an Italian progressive dinner....six courses in six different villas. The night started off with a nice little sunset as we walked to the first house for drinks.


Two things you may notice in the following photos: 1) All of our villas look the same with the exception that a few have had their walls painted white and 2) I didn't take photos of the food as much as I did the people but you can trust me, the food was wonderful!

First house was Brad's where he served Italian Stallions. A shot of 1/2 Peppermint schnapps, 1/2 Sambuca, a licorice liquor. It was.......interesting.



Next, was bruschetta at Lama's villa:


Then, our house for Italian sausage tortellini soup (by special request, we also played Pavarotti :)


Then, some delicious calamari at Sue's. This is me getting my third plateful. :)

Joe's apparently finishing the story he was telling over Calamari :)


Finally, tiramisu and coffee at Anne and Chris's. They have been here for over four years and have seen TAFT teams come and go. Some have a good group dynamic and have fun doing things together and other teams have tended to keep to themselves. Our team comprises one of the former and I'm glad!
