Hi Threadkillers!
I think I'm the black sheep threadkiller! I didn't get to meet everyone at Beach Club because of the rain. Now here's the worst part...I just read that Cally was staying at the Dolphin....Tinknutt and I were, too! UGH!
I'm SO sorry I missed the Beach Club get together
forgive me?
It was awesome to see everyone - we got rained on! Tinknutt and I saw everyone but Cally at Epcot.
When the rain finally did let up, we didn't have time to make seeing everyone AND our dinner reservations - which were at Shula's Steakhouse (Awesome, awesome, awesome! Plan on spending more than you would at Ruth Chris's, but TOTALLY worth it!).
We arrived safely home yesterday afternoon to discover that our internet was STILL down...2 days before I left it was down! It's back up and the rain followed us home!
I've been super busy - tomorrow I'm having 12 folks over for appetizers & dessert (and bunco) and 3 folks over for dinner Wednesday.
Appetizers:
Cheese Board with Fruit (Humboldt Fog, Manchengo, Blue Dolce, New York Sharp Cheddar, Blue Moon, Brie and Garlic & Herb Pub cheese)
Provolone Stuffed Olives and Green Olive & Tomato Tapanade
Strawberries & Grapes
Pot Stickers with a Garlic Soy Dipping Sauce (my own recipe for the sauce)
Spinach dip in a bread bowl
Pre-made puff pastry appetizers (Kalamata Olive/Sun Dried Tomato & Pear/Brie)
Fudge Brownie Pie with Caramel Sauce for dessert (too easy not to make again)
Wednesday Dinner
Pork Loin marinated in the Garlic Soy Dipping Sauce, grilled til just done (slightly pink) and sliced thin)
Salad with Basalmic Vinegarette & tomatoes
Rosemary Tuscan-Style bread
Gotta start cleaning! Later!
