Dear all,
With a bit of drama during the preparation for the dinner and a bit of rain that forced us to move indoors, 23 members (including host Eddie), 7 spouses (including host Dellie), and 6 guests showed up for our event which turned out to be a most enjoyable one after all.
What I heard all around merely confirms our long-held view that it is the camaraderie - amongst our our members - in our events that bring out the best in our Society, nevermind if the food is, well, "just" barbecue or if the wine were "simple".
Everyone thought the grilled prawns and roast lamb were "very good". The wines, especially the Marjosse Blanc '10 and Rouge '09 - surprised many for their quality given their sub-P1,000 price points.
We thanked Eddie and Dellie for their gracious hospitality. When the drizzle turned to rain threatened to soak us all, they quickly orchestrated our move to their verandah and turned our out-door barbecue to an air-conditioned event. Great place to hold parties, we told them, and they said we are "welcome - anytime".
All the best,
Oscar
