The Food Day Progressive Dinner Party Ends With Dessert, Plus Photos of Houston’s Food Day

by Bettina Elias Siegel on October 27, 2011

What a great food week this has been!

We started our Food Day virtual progressive dinner party at my place with a spinach salad, then we moved on to Red, Round or Green for lamb and pasta, we enjoyed delicious vegetable side dishes at Eat Dinner.org and Dinner Together, and now we wrap up the festivities with dessert today at The Jolly Tomato. Blogger Jeanne Fratello has a beautiful apple-cranberry kuchen warm out of the oven and waiting just for you!

And here in Houston we celebrated our own Food Day yesterday in front of our beautiful, Deco city hall building, site of a weekly downtown farmer’s market.  Every Houston foodie and food organization seemed to be in attendance, and at noon we sat down to what was billed as the largest communal meal ever in Houston.  (A photo of the lunch was taken from overhead and I’ll share it on Facebook when it’s released.)  Here are some pix the day’s events:

It’s been so fun to be part of the Progressive Dinner Party with you, Bri, Kathleen, and Jeanne. I love that “every food and foodie” organization was represented at Houston’s Food Day — that’s awesome!

It really HAS been fun, hasn’t it? And I love that we could totally make this whole meal, everything would go together beautifully, and we’d all be full, warm, and happy. Hm. Maybe I’ll do it in real life soon! Thanks for being a part of it, ladies.

Bri – your idea was genius and I’m so glad to have been a part of it. Someday, I hope, the five of us can all dine together in real life. :-)

Now that would be fun! Who wants to meet at the beach? I’ll volunteer my house!

Wow! Great offer Jeanne! I’m there! (Or if you ladies are ever in New York….)

Me, too! Me, too! (And Grace, I WILL be in NYC this spring, if not earlier, and this time we are for sure going to meet.) :-)
