A few months ago my friend Robin and I started doing these weekly dinners. At first it was just a means of survival for me after my breakup. A way to see a friendly face that didn't involve boozing it up, more a ladies lunching outing complete with gossip, sharing our dating woes (and some successes) and providing support for each other as we were 2 girls far from home.
With her being a fellow Texan at first we started with our favorite Texas BBQ place in the city, then it was their fried chicken off shoot and somehow from there we fell into an ethnic food kick, both of us being adventerous eaters. There's been Indian, Korean, Ethopian, etc. So when she suggested I come by her church tonight for a traditional Swedish Shrove Tuesday pancake supper I couldn't resist. It's not what you typically think of when someone mentions ethnic cuisine... but it does fit the requirement.
