Home-Hosted Dinner

This evening, ambassadors and hosts enjoyed home-hosted dinners - a good way to get to know other FF Sacramento members and to enjoy good food.

Here is a picture from one home-hosted dinner, hosted by Terry P. 

Sophie (Terry's exchange student from Germany), Carolyn L and Joanne P from Toronto, Helen F, and Terry P.


The menu was Eggplant Parmagiana using fresh eggplants from Terry's garden, bread made by Sophie, interesting conversation ranging from American politics and Canadian and German perspectives, cooking, and of course travel!


In Friendship and Peace
