Meant to be

I love the fact rice krispey treats are yummy and easy to make. I saw this book that is full of nothing, but themed treats. I went to half price books to see if they had it and score for me. I was looking through it and thought these footballs would be cute to take to an SMU game sometime. After leaving half price books we went in to Central Market to get some groceries and as soon as we walked in the store to start our shopping I came across this football trey. It was meant to be. I had to make those snacks for the next game. The kiddos loved them and they were so easy to make. I did not use the peanut butter per the instructions. I was not sure how well it would really taste. I was proud of them and can not wait to make more things out of this book.

"GFBF"

“Wine is part of the food chain it makes meals”

We had our first dinner club meeting and I think it went really well. It was Friday December 2, 2011 at The Egyptian Campisis in Dallas on Mockingbird Lane. The idea just kind of hit me out of nowhere one Sunday afternoon. I remember one of my friends telling me about something she is part of that is similar to this. Everyone had such a great time all hanging out at a concert we went to a few months back and kept on commenting about all getting together more often. It just so happen Jason and I were trying to get a dinner date on the calendar to go out with some friends that had never been to Campisis.  Then we thought of other friends that we should invite because we had not seem them in awhile and well one thought led to another and here we are.

It is the First Friday of every month; we will go to different cities and invite everyone. Jason came up with the club name GFBF “Good Friends Better Food”.  I thought it had a jingle and was witty enough. I felt a little corny calling it a club, but it is easy and that is what I wanted this to be. I originally emailed all my girl friends and said three strikes and you are kicked out. This means if you RSVP yes and then do not show up you will get a strike. It is so third grade and I love it. I do not want to make reservations for 10 and only have 3 show up. There is an evite that goes out that I use to inform everyone of our next location which I take from suggestions. I also use the invite to figure out how many people will attend, so I can make a proper reservation.

The next dinner is already on the calendar and everyone is looking forward to it. There will be some returning and some new faces. It will be interesting to see the success rate as time goes on. I hope people keep coming and inviting more. I think it is a great way to network.  I found great joy in seeing people exchange numbers and becoming new face book friends.

Next outing will be to one of my all time favorite places in Arlington. Campo Verde this was Kyle’s idea and I think everyone is going to be pleasantly surprise with the atmosphere. This place rocks!

I will keep you posted on the progress. Please let me know if you are involved in something like this. I would love to hear suggestions and other ideas.
