Tonight’s International Dinner spotlighted the rich flavors of Russia, bringing warmth and tradition to the table. Kseniia was thrilled to share some of her favorite dishes from home, starting with a hearty serving of beef stroganoff. Tender strips of beef in a creamy mushroom sauce made for the perfect comfort food. For dessert, they served Napoleon cake—a decadent, multi-layered treat with flaky pastry and sweet custard that had everyone going back for seconds. Russia’s rich culinary heritage came alive through the laughter, aromas, and shared plates—another delicious reminder of how food can bring people together.

Last night, our monthly house dinner brought everyone together for a cozy evening of good food and even better company. This time, we went with a crowd favorite—kebab night! The savory aroma of grilled chicken filled the kitchen as platters of juicy, perfectly spiced kebabs were served alongside fresh salads, warm pita, and a variety of tasty sauces. Whether wrapped up in flatbread or eaten straight off the skewer, every bite was a hit.

These monthly dinners have become a special tradition in the house, offering a chance to unwind, share stories, and bond over food. It’s more than just dinner—it’s a way to create memories and strengthen the sense of community we’ve built together. With full bellies and happy hearts, we’re already looking forward to what next month’s dinner will bring.
