Last night we had 13 men over for dinner from Brian's work. He has been wanting to have co-workers over for awhile--- but since there are so many that work with him in his department we had to split it up into 3 nights. So the next 2 tuesdays we will be having people over as well.
I've been lazy in my attempt to learn Indian cooking and with the limited resources for fixing mass quantities of food (i.e. ingredients and refrigerator space) we decided to make it easy and have a Pancake dinner. Now I can't exactly say that I would be ok feeding dinner guests in the states pancakes unless it was a group of children:) but we figured since they haven't ever eaten them and most of them are vegetarians they might think it a novelty. Well we aren't sure if they liked them or were just polite to eat them (most of them eating them by hand:). But nonetheless we dished out dozens of banana slapjacks with butter and imported syrup plus fruit salad. The boys had a blast playing with the big boys (all in their 20's) and like usual they posed for lots of pictures with them.
Next week will be all girls and we decided to order takeout so that we can visit more...i was flippin' pancakes most of the time and Brian was busy passing them out.
Afterwards Brian drove them (all piled into our car--true Indian style) to the bus stop where they rode their usual LONG bus ride home.

Wow, sounds like quite the evening! It's always interesting trying to figure out what to serve people here. I cook Indian food for our family, but I don't feel confident enough in the "authenticity" of my Indian food to serve it to Indians. =) The guys probably enjoyed the pancakes though - I don't think I've met anyone here who doesn't like pancakes and waffles!
Great idea, Brian and Colette. So glad that went well. I wonder, too, that they thought about the pancakes...
