IC Moroccan Night

The IC decided that we wanted to start doing International potlucks and our first lucky country was Morocco! After much planning and deliberating and discussing, we got together at Abbey's house for the inaugural event. One thing we wanted to do was cook together so all of us brought of ingredients and over the course of the evening, started to prepare the various dishes.

We weren't quite hungry at the start of the event so after getting some drinks together, we sat down for a game of Life. This was not the Life of my childhood: there was a lot of insulting, shouting, "douche-moves" and shenanigans that ensued. But mostly a lot of laughter.

Then we got down to cooking. Abbey had marinated some chicken and put together skewers with tomatoes and some peppers that the guys then put on the grill outside. Jon made some masterful couscous with slivered almonds while I prepared a salad made with tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, green onions and a lemon juice and olive oil dressing. Dinner was absolutely delicious. We could have eaten all night.

To work off the dinner, we went for a walk around the golf course. Then also involved some minor snowball throwing and fascination with a weird man standing in his dark living room not doing anything. It was odd and Matt and I were certainly curious. Matt's offering was a dessert of orange slices with drizzled cinnamon and honey ontop. Amazing as well. We ate this while watching "Liberal Arts", a movie by Josh Radnor, our one and only favorite Ted Mosby.

It was a spectacular night. Delicious food, good drinks, endless laughter, and most importantly, eager anticipation for the NEXT IC dinner party!
