Oh, what a night. The guests were starved & I liked that. It only meant they'll be chomping down on my food like crazy. My cousin & I were looking forward to hosting a dinner party at her place that showcased flavors from all around the world. The evening included 5 Appetizers and 1 Dessert, ranging everywhere from France, Italy, Greece, Asia, & Mexico. Here are pictures of the food served that evening.

 |
| Aracini plated with Dipping Sauce in the Center |
 |
| Greek Potatoe Tartlets with Herbed Feta (Lemon Zest & Fresh Oregano) |
 |

And for the Sweet Surprise at the end, Southern Red Velvet Cake (made with Beets, NO FOOD COLORING), which allegedly was originated at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, NY. That was the last stop of our "trip". Which makes a lot of sense, since we live right across the river ;)
