From Russia With Love

Jeff, Royce, and I fixed dinner last night for our reading group, 18 people. Our reading group meets once a month. Each month has a topic and everyone brings something related to the topic to read. This year we decided to cook a meal for the group in conjunction with Valentine’s Day. The reading theme was “From Russia with Love” and we did a Russian themed meal.

We went all out with a 5 course meal of appetizers, soup, salad, main, and dessert. Debbie did elegant hand-lettered menus in Cyrillic. Here’s the menu in plain text: Menu.

We’ve all been cooking for a while, including big events like this one. An article in the November 2009 Food & Wine magazine about the Four Coursemen has got us thinking about the possibilities of starting an underground supper club right here in the frozen wilds of northeastern Indiana.
