Oceana County Council on Aging (OCCOA) held its first Dinners Around the World on Saturday, Jan. 24. Despite the cool weather, over 70 people attended the event to enjoy a multi-course meal featuring food from India.
The menu offered some familiar dishes like butter chicken and opportunities for exploring new flavors, like rice pudding made with saffron, cardamom and pistachios. All participants enjoyed the meal and connecting with others after a long, cold week.
“The best part of the evening was witnessing so many new friendships made over the universally shared love of food,” said Program Director Bradley Youngstrom. “We want to thank everyone for braving the weather to join us and especially thank our volunteers who make these events possible.”
There is still time to register for the second Dinners Around the World event featuring authentic Mexican food on March 7 at 5:30 p.m.
Tickets for the Authentic Mexican Dinner are $30 per person.
