The invitation went out last month to those on the bunko list. There were no promises of dance lessons, or a "craft", just the delicious menu and company of our hottie hostess and one of The Crosby's most incredible chefs, Melissa!
Her elegant, candle-lit, poolside patio was the venue for this month's bunko, which by Melissa's selection, had a "Greek" theme. I was completely prepared to don a toga, but was told that it only applied to the food that was being prepared. Those would have been some funny photos!
I arrived a bit late, but was pleasantly surprised to see that the food was just being presented. With the help of her honorary "sous chef", Nora Balikian, the dishes made their way to the counter of her outdoor pavilion.
A gorgeous Greek salad presented to the musical stylings of the Black Eyed Peas started it off the party! "I've Got A Feeling" that tonight's gonna be a good night, too, Fergie!
The the lamb and chicken kebabs were a delight beyond words!
Homemade tzatziki, tomato and feta salad,
GIANT spanikopita,
followed by torte brownies and some homemade Baklava that would rival any Greek bakery!
Check out all the delicious dishes!
The evening ran well past 10 p.m....unusual for a Bunko. It seemed no one wanted to leave this magical event. Thank you, Melissa, for hosting!
Enjoy the photos, and Opa!
Love you all,
Lisalicious
