We’re going to try the dinner and a movie idea again this month. And what a movie! Few movie lovers do not rave about Casablanca (1942) with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
Before you see the show, (if you want to, it’s not mandatory), we will feed you a themed meal to get you in the proper mood. Here’s the menu for the dinner:
Lentil Soup
Chicken Tagine, with a Vegetarian version
Moroccan Green Bean Saute
Couscous
Pita Bread
Moroccan Cookies
Moroccan Mint Tea
The dinner is on Friday the 13th at 6 p.m. Reservations are needed so we know how much food to make. Please call Trish at 645-3676
We will show the movie Casablanca after the dinner.
Snow date will be Saturday, February 14th.
