Welcome to Ladies that Dine!

We ladies (Shannon, Jenny, Marcelle, and Erin) began a weekly dinner club in the Fall of 2007, after realizing that we needed to dedicate one night a week to catch up with each other over good food. Each week, someone makes dinner at their place for the group (the group can also bring items if requested to do so). The meal could be themed or not (i.e. Greek, Valentines, even breakfast foods), but always must be vegetarian. Most times the meals turn out great, sometimes, not so great.

After sharing many a meal (and many bottles of wine), we’ve decided to broaden our horizons a bit. Now, once a month, one hostess will bring the ladies to a local restaurant of their choosing. The deal is, the restaurant must be a place that no one has ever been to (the hostess is one exception). We’re hoping that it will expand our foodie knowledge of places in the area, and also give us an excuse to dress up.

We’ll use this blog to review places we’ve been, share our recipes, and for general witty banter. We hope that we can also inspire other ladies (and/or gentlemen) to create a dinner group of their own!
