Over the weekend, Mr. YnB and I participated in a Progressive Dinner. It was a first for us. I had heard about them over the years, but had never been involved in one. For those who have never heard of this type of evening, it's a rolling dinner that is divided up by courses and served at different homes. Obviously, the hosts must all live somewhat close by to one another or the evening would last all weekend.
In this case, ours was up at our weekend getaway and hosted by five homeowners in our condominium community which made it super easy to walk from one home to another. The evening started with appetizers at the first home, moved onto salads, then soup, then heavy hors d'oeuvres and ended with dessert. We were the second stop - salads.
The host serving the following course would leave a few minutes early from the previous course to get everything set out for the party to move on. It all went so smoothly with only a small amount of coordination. The food was delicious, the drinking was non-stop and the conversation was delightful. It was a great success!
Have you ever hosted a progressive dinner?
