Dinner Divas

It all started with a girl's day out. My friend Michelle had won a makeover day for a group of 10. So she invited me and eight of our other friends from work and a fun day of makeup and high heels ensued. Over a very boozy lunch afterwards at Luke it was decided that we should form a supper club and Dinner Divas was born. The basic way that it works is we each pick a month (minus November and December due to holidays) and on the third Thursday of our particular month we host the group for dinner. We've been at it for just over a year now and it has been a great success. All of us love to cook and it has brought out a great deal of creativity and experimentation. Not to mention a few hangovers.

The basic purpose of this blog is to be able to share the wonderful food from Dinner Divas night with all of my friends and anyone else that loves to cook. I invited the other members of my group to be contributors, but most likely it will just be me. And since Dinner Divas is only ten times a year (though there is the occasional bonus field trip) I'll be filling most of the blog with the things I make at home or just things that I see online and am dying to try. Photos may be scanty at first, but hang in there. My camera is awful but hopefully my photographer friend Jason will be over often as a taste tester and will provide his camera skills on occasion.

And in case you are wondering why the name of the blog isn't Dinner Divas, it is because there is a business with that name somewhere else in the country so I renamed us for blog purposes only. Plus, Crescent City Supper Club is a bit more descriptive.
