1st Meeting of 2008

Our first gathering this year was at the Burnette's house. Our newest members, Brandi, Whitney and Heath joined the mix along with the youngest member attending her first official meeting -- Gabby. The theme was Italian, and the food as announced below was enjoyed by all.

In honor of our upcoming trip to Italy this summer, Chris and Jennifer would like to say "Buon Appetito!"

Primo- Italian stuffed mushrooms (Nama) Arugula & Feta Pizza (Burnette)

Secondo- Shrimp Marinara (Burnette)

Insalata & Bread - (Willis)

Dolce - (Trammel)

**Substitutions of spaghetti instead of shrimp marinara for those under 7 yrs:-)
