The Progressive Dinner

We had our first progressive dinner with friends in the neighborhood last night.
Believe it or not the husbands planned the whole thing and did the cooking.
I love events like this I just think it is great that the men organized it all!
Our first stop of the night was just a few houses down at Bryan and Shannan's where they went all out.
Their basement is an entertainment area so they had us all down there where they have beer on tap and did cosmos.
The food was mushrooms stuffed with veal.
My favorite: bacon wrapped scallops with a sprig of rosemary.
French bread with caramelized onions and anchovies.
Our gracious host Bryan mixing cocktails!
The wives.
Shannan, Me and LeAne.
Hubby and neighbor Keith.
These two might as well be brothers.
Redic how much they are alike.
The 2nd stop of the night was our house for the main course.
My last minute table scape.
It was raining all day and I originally thought hydrangeas but it's not Spring quite yet.
Brad made lasagna but put it in a temp baking dish in order for it to be thicker.
Delish!!
I made salad and we had french bread too.
So fun!
Our next stop was Keith and LeAne's for dessert.
WOW!
Keith made creme brulee from scratch.
And, LeAne did a table scape too!
And, they served dessert wine!
The whole gang again.
I'm already thinking of how we can do this once a month.
With next month's weekend falling on Mardi Gras weekend so I can attempt a king cake!
Oh..forgot.
All of our dogs participated in the dinner too.
And, Keith was our dog 'whisperer'.
Have you guys ever done a dinner like this?
Tons of fun!
