Week 2 a big success!

Wow we had a great time last night for Wed nite cocktails!

Attendees included:
Lyle
Roman
Amy
Kim
Jeff
Rob
Michael H
Chere and baby Jonah : ) + her friend Kathy
Tracy

The Champagne tropical medley was very refreshing. It was well received considering we went through 3.5 bottles of champage and nearly 1 bottle of Xrated liquor.
I believe the recipe was 1 part Xrated Liquor and 3 parts Champagne....Amy or Michael correct me if I am wrong here.

The Tater tot casserole was very delicious and I think we all enjoyed this Minnesota tradition!

We need the following recipes from the following peeps:
Amy - Tater tot casserole
Kathy - Garden veggie rollup
Roman - Strawberry sangria
Jeff - Lemon bars

Here is the recipe for the Thai peanut dip:
8oz cream cheese
8oz sour cream
2 cups peanuts crushed
1/2 cup Thai sweet chilli
lime juice to taste

You can add more peanuts, Thai sweet chilli or lime juice based on your preference. I serve it with those Wheat Thin air crisp crackers.

Upcoming Wednesday 30th July

Hello all this week it appears we have had several volunteers already to bring food and drinks. Same location as previous and of course everyone is invited.

Cocktail: Champagne tropical medley
I think Michael H is bringing champagne and Amy L is bringing liquor

Food: Tater tot casserole (Amy L)
Jello (Tracy)
Bars (Jeff)
Thai peanut dip ( Tracy)

Amy is feeling homesick for Minnesota and wanted to make the Tater tot casserole which she confirms from childhood must be accompanied with jello and bars.

Feel free to bring other items and looking forward to week 2!
