Cooking Club 14.0: British Invasion

Date: February 11, 2010
Location: A Progressive Dinner
Theme: British Invasion

Attendees included:
The CC Crew: Ben, Bridget, Mary Kay, Martha Ellen, R. J.
Sponsored Guests: ETUK Team: Nigel, Eddy, Emma & Nicky

The Menu: Recess cooked, and I forget what we ate. But it was good, and there are pictures.

The Night: Mary Kay wanted to expose the ETUK team to what’s become an American institution: Cooking Club. Because a large work event was taking place at the same time, we opted for a gourmet night out instead of going down a traditional route of making our own food.

The night started at Recess with Emma, Nicky, Ben, Bridget, Martha Ellen, MK and R. J. enjoying a four-course meal. Highlights of the evening included R. J. asking Nicky why she wasn’t drinking, then asking “wait, are you pregnant?” Not cool. But turns out that Nicky WAS pregnant, and by the time this blog is actually posted, she’s six months into her maternity leave already.

After dinner, we headed to a new Indy staple: the Upland Tasting Room where we met up with Nigel and Eddy, and we played games and drank some more. Eddy and Nigel brought cooking-themed gifts to the Cooking Club that we graciously accepted and wore immediately.

From Upland, we went back to Martha Ellen & Bridget’s where we drank more and played more games. I don’t remember the specifics of the evening, but received this picture from Martha Ellen with the caption: “This pretty much sums up the night.” So it must have been fun. Looking forward to a repeat in 2011!
