TAPAS  BUFFET  SUPPER
SATURDAY,  AUGUST 3, 2002
A SUMMER GOURMET EVENT FOR  THE GRADUATES

Thanks to Pam and George Kolva for hosting the event in their home.

Join in the fun of preparing and sharing the special flavors of Tapas prepared from authentic Spanish recipes accompanied by quality Spanish wines  to complement the food.  Each participating Graduate (or couple) will be given a Tapas recipe to prepare their supper contribution -- for example, Roasted Oranges Seville or Leeks Baked in Bechamel Sauce.

Tapas originated in Spanish bodegas where small plates were set atop wine glasses to keep the flies out. Later small tasty portions of food were added to the plates to accompany the wine.   The food was small in quantity but more substantial than finger food.

This event will be held in a Graduate home with 6 to 10 people at each table.  More than one home may host depending upon number of sign-ups.  If you would like to host please make that known when you make your reservation. No money will be collected in advance, but costs will be tallied the evening of the event and shared equally by attendees. Pre-selected wines will be suggested as part of the menu, to make the evening more authentically Spanish. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be made available.
