| The Suppa Club Crew |
Wow - our last official Suppa Club in Raleigh. While no one could quite figure out how many years we have been doing this (maybe 4?), the last one that we attended as official residents of North Carolina was held at Joyce and Phil's.

| Appetizers |
The idea of this one was to reprise the favorite meal we had in all the years: Cuban night at Phil and Joyce's, complete with home-made roast sucking pig. We had very little to contribute to this one: only the sangria (white and red) - which was very helpful as we had a lot of work to do to prepare for Bhutan and moving. Kim and Jonathan brought two yummy appetizers: one made of a taro root shredded and fried like hash browns and the other was a pastry with guava paste (the primary ingredient was butter)! We all chatted for an hour or so before eating - kicking off with beer, mojitos, and the sangria. Joanna was the non-drinker for the night because she was still under the weather - very sad for her, but good for us as we had a designated driver!

| Main Course |
Sitting down, our first course was Cuban salad brought by Natalie: very tasty. That was followed by the self-served main course, including lime rice (brought by John/Jo), black beans (via Steve/Amy), plantains (courtesy of Keith/Kate) and the suckling pig and roast chicken with mojo sauce (all created by Phil/Joyce). The meal was slammin'!! Dessert was rum cake with either dolce leche or vanilla ice cream, accompanied by Cuban coffee.
It was a fantastic final Suppa Club for the two of us - though we do plan on heading back to Raleigh every once in a while to participate in some of them in the future.
