Or "Red Night"...that was the theme of the party that we went to last night and we had a blast. Everyone was to wear read and the drinks, appetizers, and food all somehow involved the color. A woman Shea works with named Corina (Romanian) was kind enough to invite us. It was a group of her classmates from her German class getting together to eat, drink, and practice their German. Very nice of her to include us.
We met people from all over. The hosts were Scottish; there was another American couple from Minnisota, a woman from Poland, another woman from Romania, a guy from South Africa, and two guys from France. Everyone was extremely friendly. The red wine was certainly flowing...we tried Cherry beer (interesting), cranberry juice and champagne, and some good old German beer. The appetizers included chips and salsa and a beet pie with brie. Some of the ladies then made handmade pasta with pesto sauce and fresh salad for dinner. One of the French guys brought some homemade French cakes for dessert that were wonderful.
We went not anticipating on staying too long, but we drank, shared stories, and laughed into the very early hours.
Though we feel a bit rough today, we had a great time and look forward to meeting with some of the couples again. It was a great idea for a party and who knows maybe a "Green Night" party is next...
