Next Meeting: 02/21/06 - Speaker: Joe Fox ~ "Leonardo's Last Supper"
Joe Fox has a master's degree in Art History from Washington University in St. Louis. He teaches at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and appraisers art and antiques for James Billings Appraisals. He grew up in Minneapolis near Lake Nokomis.
Leonardo Da Vinci's “Last Supper” has become one of the most widely appreciated masterpieces in the world. It began to acquire its unique reputation immediately after it was finished in 1498 and its prestige has never diminished. Despite the many changes in tastes, artistic styles, and rapid physical deterioration of the painting itself, the painting's status as an extraordinary creation has never been questioned nor doubted.

Dinner Club
Wednesday 02/22/06 - 6:30pm
La Bodega Tapas Bar
(corner of Lake and Lyndale) in Minneapolis
RSVP: by Feb. 20 to Grete (612-375-8535 or gkrohninuk@yahoo.com )
The Scene
With its sunshine-yellow walls, ornately tiled bar, live flamenco music and dancing on weekend nights, the atmosphere is fun and festive.
The Food
Bring your friends to La Bodega because the menu only has tapas--small dishes of Spanish food meant to be shared. The most basic tend to be basic, like the caprese salad made with buffalo mozzarella or the white button mushrooms sauteed in white wine sauce. The chefs have a way with seafood : The fried calamari is crisp and non-greasy, garlic shrimp are fresh and perfectly grilled, and the tomato-tuna-egg salad is refreshingly light and simple. Both desserts--flan and tiramisu--are light and delicious.
Parking
There's a lot in the back and street parking.
Address
