Dress-up Dinner Club



I remember my friend Shaun talking about his life living abroad in Africa - I think he was in Zambia and he said when you run out of things to do you start having excessively complicated dinner parties. Maybe we have been in Amman too long because our latest dinner club event "serve food from an empire" was also Arab-clothing night. It seems that people who have served in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf fall in love with thobes (the long white robes) and lament that they can't really wear them in Jordan without looking out-of-place.



Dan and I made pretzels from the Martha Stewart Hor Doevre cookbook and they were outstanding. We made a half-recipe and could easily have eaten the full amount. They were outstanding coming out of the oven and very good re-heated a few hours later at the party. Make your own pretzels!!!
