When I lived in San Diego a group of my friends and I used to have a cooking club. Every week we got together at someone’s house and cooked dinner. Who ever’s house it was made the entree and the others brought sides and dessert. It was a fun ritual, it made sure we saw each other at least weekly, we learned a lot about cooking, and since we were all from different parts of the country we were able to share our diverse cooking heritages with each other.
I miss cooking with friends and for more than one or two people. There are just some things you don’t make when you’re cooking for one or two (desserts!). I guess this was part of the reason that I was so excited to get together with friends for a dinner party this week. Plus it was fun just to see everyone. We had a fabulous (smokin’ hot?) time and have to do it again!
Note: The Internet told us that if we microwaved an avocado for a little bit then put it in a paper bag with an apple or two that it would speed ripen it. The Internet lies.
Rachel I think your blog is pretty interesting I check it out almost everday. I used to live in the ukraine village and my apartment was broken into also. They got away with $800, sorry to hear the same happend to you at least you’re ok. PRESTON WAS BORN IN THE 80′s yes the same Preston.

Please explain the cheese tray…very interesting.
1) That looks like REALLY good food.
2) The Internet lies?! Noooooo! It can’t be true…my world…at an end…
Rachel: Dinner groups can be great fun! You should start one just from the individuals responding. Arlan
i got the cheese tray as a birthday gift from jessica. it’s made of slate and you can write the types of cheeses you’re serving with a piece of chalk.
yeah, rachel. that cheese thing is really cool. it would be fun to fuck with people by moving the cheese around though…
