Almost a Year

It's been almost a year since our first Foodie Night, so I thought we would celebrate by starting a blog. Foodie Night is a celebration of food and friends. Once a month, five of us in the Dallas - Fort Worth (with a revolving group of guest stars) get together to cook, eat, and drink.

It started with an idea Lacy had for us to get together and learn to make tiramisu. Meredith offered to host and make us dinner. Once she told what she was making, we all decided to bring side dishes. We didn't end up making tiramisu. Instead, we sat around Mere's coffee table, ate tasty food, drank wine, and bonded. We loved it so much, we decided to do it once a month. Along the way, Angie and Ryan joined the Foodie ranks. We all have our own cooking style and taste, and that is what makes Foodie Night fun.

Here's how Foodie Night usually goes:

1. The hostess for the night chooses a main dish at least a week or two in advance of the night and sends the idea to everyone else on Facebook.
2. The other Foodies choose a side dish, appetizer, dessert, or cocktail to go with the main dish.
3. We gather that day, eat the dishes, and gush over the food.
4. Drink wine and the theme cocktail.
5. Talk. Lots.
6. Brag to all of our friend, families, and coworkers for weeks after about the Foodie Night awesomeness.
7. Think about what we're going to make next (weeks in advance, if you're me).

We will update this blog with our Foodie Night adventures, recipes, and any other adventures we have as lovers of all things tasty.
