軍官夫人午餐俱樂部 OWC Luncheon- Rock the Casbah

今天去參加了一個月一次的軍官夫人午餐俱樂部。主題叫做Rock the Casbah 。話說，我們這個鳥不生蛋的地方，其實沒有什麼娛樂，只有在市中心就這麼101間還不錯的中東餐廳叫做Marrakesh, (取名其實是摩洛哥歷史悠久的一個大城市)，這間餐廳每個星期六晚上都有請舞者來店裡跳肚皮舞。這次的主辦單位就邀請其中一位舞者到我們的午餐俱樂部表演，兼.... 教我們幾招 (幾招回家跳給老公看的嗎？呵呵)，所以就取了這個主題名字囉！(Rock the Casbah 是美國80 年代一首搖滾流行歌曲，歌曲裡面帶有一些中東的色彩。).......... 旁邊的太太曰：要我跳可以，可是我可能要比那位舞者*多*穿點衣服.... 因為我跳起來身上會“甩來甩去”的東西(肉?....)可能多+ 很多......... )
The theme of the OWC luncheon this month is "Rock the Casbah". In this tiny city, there is one and only one better restaurant available name "Marrakesh", which serves Mediterranean Cuisine. Every Saturday night, there would be a belly dancer performance in the restaurant. The luncheon organizer  invited one of the belly dancers to dance in our luncheon and teach us "some moves".... (to perform in front of our husbands?)

  

首先迎接我們的是.. 金色杯子蛋糕Cupcake.. 這個小小的一口吃蛋糕做得很精緻，又很美觀... 但是以我們亞洲人的口味來說.... 超甜！

是主辦單位裡面一個太太親手做的呦！

As we walk in, look at these beautiful tiny cupcakes! Aren't they beautiful?

They were hand-made by one of the wives!

在雞尾酒談話時間，旁邊的活動就是有特別請人來“刺青”

放心，這是印度結婚畫的那一種顏料，大約可以維持兩週

然後就會退掉

At the social hour, Hanna artist is available to paint on your body.
