An international food potluck - a great way to end the semester!

Next week will be the "end of winter 2014 semester" class party. Emphasis on party! And what's a party without good food?! All of the dancers in my class are encouraged to bring a dish from one of the countries of the dances we learned that semester. So we research recipes... it's shockingly easy to find free recipes on the Internet for all sorts of cuisine - Greek, Macedonian, Russian - you name it. Among other dances, we learned Cylch y Cymry, a couple mixer from Wales. I can only hope someone makes Welsh rarebit for the potluck! Perhaps in honor of learning Sheikhani, an Assyrian dance, someone will make the Assyrian chicken and potatoes with yellow rice as found on food.com. I'm very fond of tumeric and cumin...
The food at our end of semester potlucks is always great. There is always an abundance of interesting dishes to try. But it's the joy of participation, the effort, and the investment of time that always touches me. We had a high school exchange student from China. Kiki made an authentic dish of food from her country! What a treat. And I'll never forget the semester when Scott first retired from his job... with all that newly-found time, he cooked a dish from EACH country - he brought at least 9 dishes! 
I'll show up with my standard lamb and rice dish in hand, ready for a fabulous meal featuring at least two different recipes of baklava for dessert! Pictures to follow.
