Nifty Nerdy Humor

So, we decided to have an UnAmerican dinner party; nothing scandalous or even remotely political, just a good excuse to cook something other than American cuisine.

We emailed up some friendly folks and invited them to bring a pillow to sit upon their favorite foreign dish/snack/sweet:


To set the scene, and to further step away from the standard seating set-up, we put out low tables with colorful coverings:


But, amid all the planning and prepping that inevitably goes into putting together a party, just a couple days before the big day, I was still trying to figure out what to make!

Should I make Chinese Gioza? Mini Greek Pizzas?
Mexican Tinga?
German Pancakes? Dutch Mansaka?

Then, I remembered the Polish Pierogies that were so yummy. And later, an amazingly awesome person suggested Australian Anzac.. and so, tickled by the appetizing alliteration, it was definitively decided!

and a delicious decision it was!
