Foodie GTG recap!

1st of all, the BEST part of a potluck (outside of the company) is the clean up. It's so nice to have a party and not have 50million dishes to wash afterward!

I had a great time and really appreciate everyone's patience with my crappy a/c. Hopefully the guys fixed it and we'll have cooler temps in the house tonight!

The basic consensus was "We should do this more often." I totally agree and was wondering if we should calendar a couple future dates, maybe one Saturday and one Sunday in the next few months? WDYT?

    These sound so fun. I couldn't make this one but would love to make one in the future!

  • Thanks for hosting!

    I can host one too, perhaps the one after pagas. I need more motivation, or I will just have to let everyone know that we weren't the ones who touched up all the paint with the wrong paint colors!

    Recipes??

  • Definitely thanks for hosting - it was a good time.  Lots of fantastic eats.  I think I need to start Weight Watchers again, though.   I'd be happy to host a non-kiddo party.   We don't have a kid-friendly house.  No doubt they would be bored to tears here. 

    Here is a link to the sausage bread: http://foodblogga.blogspot.com/2010/03/italian-sausage-bread-recipe-for-easter.html

     

    I modified it slightly by adding sage.  I think next time I will use less filling so I can wrap the bread around it more.  I actually used to have another sausage bread recipe, but couldn't find it.  I think I like the one from the foodblogga more.

  • I am 100% for sure doing the cookie exchange again this year.  We can turn this into the Foodie GTG if we want, but I plan to invite a few non nesties too :)

    I'm so sad I missed it.  We didn't go to bed until close to 4 AM.  I was just too tired.

  • I'm so sad I missed it! DH had to go to work :(. Hopefully I can make it next time.

    Even though my cookie situation was a hot mess last year, the exchange was a lot of fun! I am already looking forward to this year's :)

    What about if we shoot for every 2 mos? PAGAS can host in October and then Brandi in December for the xchange? How does that sound?

  • I'm so sad I missed it! But, I'm glad to hear that another one is around the corner! :)

    DH has been begging for a date, and this afternoon worked best for us and MIL.

    I liked your Festivus balls last year. 

    I also think that's a great idea. Today was a lot of fun, thanks for hosting!

    I would hate for you to miss out on that fun company and all...and TAP OUT!

    PAGAS, Brandi and then melrrr? 

     

  • I wish I could have mad it! No time at all to cook yesterday  and DD has been a teething hot mess today.

     

    But I'm definitely up for future ones :)

  • Bummed I missed it, especially since I'm so close.  It's just so hard to plan, grocery shop and make something...on schedule...with an infant!

    I managed to make it with an infant, a toddler, a dish to pass AND I drove in from the 'burbs. It's not that hard. Wait until you have a kid that moves, their main purpose is to try to make sure you never leave the house on time for anything.

    well now i feel like a giant doofus.  i didn't even have ANY kids holding me back... yet i still couldn't get it together enough to plan, go to the grocery store, make some kind of dish on time, and get myself out of the house.

     

     

    can i blame it on my dog?

    but when he whimpers and throws his little green ball at me...  it's hard to resist!
