We hosted our PEPS group tonight. It was a really fun evening. The kids played together nicely, for the most part. I particularly enjoyed the end of the evening when they were all wearing and sharing Katie's Mardi Gras necklaces:) And, the adults were able to have good conversations.
In the past, the hosting family would provide the complete meal. Tonight was the first time we tried making it a potluck. We are going to give it a full rotation before we decide to stick with the potlucks or go back to the other option.
Ben grilled chicken drumsticks and thighs, that I prepped in a lemon and herb marinade, and we provided beverages. The rest of the group brought the rest of the meal: a green salad, pasta salad, bread, snacks for the kids, and a spice cake from Macrina Bakery. We got the chicken marinade recipe from Ben's brother, Spencer. He used it several months ago when we had dinner at his house. In order to marinate 14 drumsticks and 8 thighs, I tripled the following marinade recipe.
