The Aftermath

Last night Ban and I hosted Cine-Dips. Our amazing friends started this group earlier this year and we've been unable to make a single get together until now because as Manna repeatedly stated, we are losers. After last night, hopefully our loser-status has been revoked.


Ban made Shrimp and Sesame Sticks with Apricot Dipping Sauce. Check out the recipe here. They were delicious! He also made Roasted Red Pepper, Almond, and Garlic Dip that he served with fresh cut veggies. This dip was excellent too. Here's the recipe for it if you want to try it out.
The rest of the gang rounded out the spread with asiago dip & pita chips, chocolate stout cheese, and fig spread with crostini, chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes. Sadly, I forgot to photograph all this deliciousness. So, you'll have to take my word for it.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the movie, The Man Who Planted Trees, and a great conversation ensued.

Afterward, we took to the basement and played Rockband, Rockband 2, and Beatles Rockband. We'll get Manna up to speed on those Beatles songs if it kills me. Love you, Manna :)

  2. You should host a vegan-friendly cine-dips some time! Consider it a fun challenge and invite me. :]

  3. It is on! I was thinking of doing an alternative Thanksgiving themed Cine-dips for November and watching Dead Man. Let's make it vegan!
