Bite-Sized Food, Super-Sized Fun

Despite our best intentions, it was hard to get another cooking club night on the books. But finally, finally, we picked a day, a place and a theme. Liz hosted us all last Sunday night (and kicked Barry out for the night!) and since they live in a smaller condo, she chose "Mini foods" as the theme. Brilliant!

One might think that we'd opt for simple recipes like corn dogs or ants on a log. (But I guess we're not 5 years old either?) But no, we got all fancy. On the miniature menu:
  • Fried chicken and waffles
  • Individual chicken pot pies (that's the roll-looking thing with cheesy goodness on top!)
  • Brie and fig wrapped in some sort of croissant dough
  • Mini wedge salads (that's what I brought; I figured a veggie option might be refreshing)
  • Sweet potato goodness wrapped in some sort of amazing dough
  • Two types of stuffed mushrooms
  • Apple tarts (dessert seen below)
We clearly ate ourselves silly because in no time, we decided that it was absolutely critical to learn the latest line dance craze: The Wobble. It's like the Wobble said to the Macarena, "I'll see your catchy, rhythmic hand motion and raise you a body roll." Get ready to see Wobbling at a bar near you, friends. It's good.

P.S. Contrary to back-to-back dance-related posts, I actually don't crazy dance every single day. Usually only like 4 days a week :)
P.P.S. Next theme: Family recipes! Mom, Dad, what should I make?!

  1. Oh my gosh, why do mini foods taste so much better than regular foods?! I have not heard of this dance, I feel out of the loop, I'm off to put it into YouTube...
