The Shimer Oxford Family Dinners

Whew, we are NOT eating like college students this term! We’ve made a point of getting together weekly for a pot-luck (Raya & Alex kicked us off on making this a regular thing). These dinners have turned into us all into Foodies! One Saturday, Raya and Matt made an EXCELLENT lasagna, Alex- brushetta worthy of your mortal soul, lemon-balsamic salad (Kim), and Kate a tiramisu that came from a little tiny section of heaven I like to think of as Bailey’s, Coffee, and Chocolate Central. On Sat 2/28 we had our first Tapas theme- See pics below, but as for menu: stuffed dates with Walnuts and cheese (Lila), Baked Prosciutto cups with seasoned rocket greens and shaved parmesan (Matt), 3- humus mixes and pita (Alex), chorizo, white-wine steamed fresh mussels, lemon- caper artichoke salad (Kim), Cashew bake-yum (Raya), Brushetta with fresh mozzarella and bread (Tory), Home baked Shortbread with Raspberry filling (Kate), Mushroom & Aioli open faced bread, various cheeses, wines, and Mojitos with fresh mint to kick us off. It was a feast!!!! Wish you were all here! J
