Our last bimonthly dinner theme was 'Black and White' so most people turned up in black and white outfits. One of our newer younger residents came in a penguin blow up outfit, which had us in stitches. The meal was delicious brisket so soft and tender with a decadent dessert, I think it was black forest cake.

The Rochdale High School students do a good job at serving and cleaning up.
What a fun time. There is always someone who goes all out for a themed party and creates great laughs.
ReplyDeleteWere the mature-aged village singers great to listen to? Was the student group impressive?
ReplyDeleteThe singers are ok .Bill who was a musician doesn't think so. The students are amazing. They help the chef and plate up and serve and clear away and clean the kitchen.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe dinner looks like a fun time for the residents. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
Wonderful fun. I wonder if the penguin lady managed to sit down for dinner. I hope so!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't everyone look great there in those photos Diane. Was thinking to myself the penguin man would have been hot in the suit.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, I always enjoy seeing your dinner themes and how everyone rises to the occasion to dress appropriately. The food offerings are also stellar and overall I think your dinners are a great success. Bill looks very dapper in his hat but I didn't see you in the photos. I guess you were busy behind the camera. Good luck to all the students as they write their exams. Enjoy the rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this black and white theme! Hope you had fish for that penguin. LOL. Guess what, I graduated from ROCKDALE County High School!
ReplyDeleteEin Abendessen, das nicht langweilig ist. Alle sehen gut gelaunt aus.
ReplyDeleteYou residents get the best parties! Food looks yum!
ReplyDeleteI really like that the students are so involved in the meals. Lots of learning done while serving and being with so many different people. Glad they get credit for all of their work too.
ReplyDeleteLove the black and white theme and especially the penguin !!
The dinner looks delicious too.

oh that looks like fun and how cool that you taught with that mans daughter What a small world The food looks great
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to have the students helping out and good experience for them as well. Love the Penguin suit too. Have a good week, notice the weather report is not the best so hope you are ok where you are.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous evening.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful evening! ❤️ I absolutely love the black and white theme, and everyone looks so lovely! But I have to say, the penguin definitely stole the show! 🐧😂 What a brilliant sense of humour! It's so nice to see everyone coming together, enjoying delicious food, music and good company. And how lovely that the students helped make the evening special. They certainly deserved their certificates! These are the little moments that make such beautiful memories. Sending warm greetings from the Czech Republic! 💕
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fantastic time and I am glad the kids will be rewarded for their participation. What they learned doing here will go a long way in their chosen profession. How interesting you have an American resident and taught with his daughter. That penguin suit was great too and the meal sounds delicious! Happy rest of the weekend to you and Bill.
ReplyDeleteEveryone looks so spiffy in their black and white outfits -- i really like the theme dinners your community has! I should know because I've read your great dinner posts before, but I forget -- are the meals catered in or does staff prepare them? Our Independent-living senior community includes a small restaurant that is also open to the public -- they cater all our 'events". (Like your community, most meals are on our own just like they have been all our lives, but it IS nice to have the restaurant near by for those times when cooking just isn't on and neither is driving to go out. (Thankfully we still enjoy cooking and eating in more often than not.)
ReplyDeleteThe theme dinners that are hosted in your community are really a nice gathering Diane. And, of ourselves, that penguin outfit was the best get up for a black and white themed party.
ReplyDeleteLooks a great event, I enjoyed seeing these photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
