Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

This is Marco - he was one of our "hosts" on Sunday afternoon at our church's "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" event. Here's how the event works: Several weeks before the dinner, each family fills out a form as to whether you wish to be a guest or host, along with information regarding number in family, number of people you can host, directions to your home, food allergies, etc. You turn them in and one person is designated to match up guests and hosts. The week before the event, each family is given an envelope that contains the following info: if you're a host, you'll find out how many are coming (but not specifically who is coming); if you're a guest, you find out where you're going and the number of people who'll be there (but not who else will be there besides the host). The host is responsible for the main dish and vegetable - the guests are assigned with the salad/bread or the dessert. It's all kept a secret until after church when you show up at the host family's door. It's fun trying to guess who you'll be having dinner with! There were 14 of us at our host family's house (15 including Marco who flew around the room after dinner showing off). We enjoyed the ham, baked potatoes, and green beans that our host served, along with the tossed salad and rolls I provided. The other family of 3 that joined us brought a delicious pineapple upside down cake and peanut butter pie. We chatted over dinner and spent the rest of the afternoon on the back porch visiting and watching the combined 8 children play kickball.
