We had such a fun time Chez Robert and Tiffany that we stole their idea for a Top Chef Competition with a twist of our own.
We asked our friends to come to our party bringing their own dumpling fillings. We used natural food coloring to make dumpling wrappers to differentiate between the dumplings. We had green (Cat & Mat), purple (Grace & Dougie), orange (Sean & Libby), and reddish (P&T).
A few of us helped make the wrappers and the owners of the dumpling fillings wrapped their own dumplings. The Top Chef dumpling competition was based on taste, wrapping style, and originality.

Celebrating Cat |
We also celebrated Cat's birthday, graduation, and her first job offer at APL.
The second part of the Top Chef competition was the Blind Tasting contest. We had categories like apple types (Gala, Fuji, Cosmic Crisp, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp), chocolate (dark from 90% to milk), cheese types, cereal, flavored water, dark soda. Our tie-in to the holidays was to name the famous male and female artists who sing Silent Night.

At the end, we played Qwixx Sheet, a dice game, and Two Rooms and a Boom, a social game of hidden roles and deduction.
