Recipe Site Pot Luck

These are some of the girls I got to meet while in Indonesia . . . Sarah, (Julene), Rebekah and Kathy. Unfortunately not all could make it on  this particular day. All of them have a heart for the people there and are serving  in some way while living there . .  whether is be artwork, orphanage ministry or teaching, as well as supporting their husbands in practical and relief work.

One thing that they try to do on  a regular basis is to have a recipe party. The hostess prepares the table and chooses a recipe site or book, which the guests bring the goodies from. Julene hosted a party while I was there . . . and you can guess which site she chose!

She did a beautiful job of setting the table.

I felt honored and so privileged to be a part of this . . . but I did feel a bit for these young ladies . . . as they had to try a completely new recipe, all the while knowing I would be in attendance.
I need not have worried.
I was completely blown away by the beautiful presentations of recipes from mennonitegirlscancook.
I know it is difficult to get all of the ingredients in this country, let alone good quality, but these girls know how to adapt. I thought this Bavarian Apple Torte looked and tasted better than the one I posted on the blog. Sarah, sliced the almonds for the topping by hand.

Rebecca brought Lovella's watermelon and tomato skewers . . . she improvised with dried basil. They were delicious.

Kathy brought a pineapple dessert posted by Kathy on the blog . . . for which, if I remember correctly, she used fresh pineapple. A must try!

 

My contribution to this pot luck were Judy's savory cheddar scones, minus the herbs. I had a wonderful time getting to know these brave gals and would love to do something like this with my friends sometime.
