A Flavor Fiesta

Spring is in full swing in Houston. It is an ideal time to soak up the warm windy weather. For our international potluck picnic, bring comida (food) from your country of origin ( Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, America, etc.) It's a great time to show your favorite dishes.

Ideally, everyone brings something homemade. Need inspiration? Scour Food Network, including Simply Delicoso. In your quest for the purrfect dish RecipeZaar will be helpful. And last but not least, Fiesta of Flavors, a website by the Univ. of Illinois that features Hispanic recipes in both English and Spanish, great for building vocabulary. It also has nutrition facts of each dish.

The scenic location of our international potluck is Hermann Park. You're welcome to bring your camera! ;o) Apart from the beautiful fountains, gazebos, and flowers, there are 101 fun things to do at the park. We can even go for a ride on pedal boats after our feast. ;o)

When you RSVP for this event, please post what you are bringing. This will help other members know what types of things/foods are still needed.

Here are some other items we will also need:
• Paper cups, Paper plates, Plastic wear
