Julia's birthday!

Dessert anyone?

Thank you Kristi for the cake and cookies. They were

delicious. I hope making them didn't cause you to go into

Halloween Bunco 2007

Flashback to last years Bunco. Who's missing
from this picture




Queen of the Witches (Which one is Witch?)


Great Pumpkin - Very Scarey

Vanquish of the Great Pumpkin


Hear ye all, Esoryram calls,
Witches, cats, rats and all creatures who crawl

Trouble is brewing and this is no trick
So please come to bunco and it better be quick (Oct 16)

The great pumpkin has arisen his plans crystal clear
But together we will thwart him and save one more year

Your tools are necessary so please come prepared
So this terrible fate can soon be repaired.

Hat, broom and creature are all you will need
Dressed for the fight we will surely succeed

We all have a magical creature, very dear to our heart,
So please bring him with you for he will play a big part.

Whether on leash, in cage or in jar
Your powerful creature will shine like a star

His power a mystery, to all but his master
Be prepared to share it with us at dinner, but before would be disaster

The quest is simple, Halloween he will steal,
the plan is intact, and at bunco revealed.

Julias Bunco was "FANTASTIC"

Julia

I would like to be the first to thank you for such

a great bunco in the desert. Food, drink

and company (in no particular order was wonderful)

I need your recipe for the tortilla rolls and the bean

salsa to add to the blog at your earliest convenience.

Thank you again.

Pattys Eggplant Capresse Salad

I sliced the eggplant and let it dry out all night

on a tray covered with paper towels. Then

I dipped the eggplant in flour with
S&P,then egg ,then Italian bread crumbs.

Fried in cannola and olive oil.
Then drain on paper towels.

I mixed arugula and baby greens. But red
onion, black olives sliced tomotoes and mozzarella

with the eggplant on top.
I tossed the salad first then put the mozzarella

and eggplant on top.

The dressing was:
l/2 cup olive oil,

1/3 balsamic vinegar,

chopped garlic,
chopped basil,

1 tbs dijon mustard and S & P.

I hope this is not too
confusing. Patty

Greetings Ladies,

Welcome to our Blog.

Please feel free to add your own pictures,

comments, etc. at anytime.

It is fun and easy and will be a good

way to get information

on the upcoming Bunco.

Patty's July Bunco

We began a wonderful evening at Patty's beach house

with the most delicious dinner and beverages.

Check out those breasts!!!

Sangria Dance

Take note for all of you wondering exactly

how to do the "Sangria Dance" It is all

in the hips!

As you can see for those of you that missed, we

were having a marvelous time. Is Shelley

wearing a robe??? and does

Lisa have a drink?? You don't

see that everyday.

And Bunco wouldn't
be Bunco without
Lisa showing us a few
of her tricks.

Lisa, Paul called and asked if you

were coming home.

Even Peggy learned

a few tricks.
"I wonder how you

get them even?"
Looks good

though don't

you think?

Baby it's cold

outside.

Is anyone

coming

outside

to play

Bunco?

And yes, we did eventually play Bunco if

only just one round. Who was the big

Winner???

And in the morning we told womanly stories and

Patty made waffles. Actually Patty

made us French toast souffle, scrambled eggs

with asparagus, fruit and a wonderful coffee cake.

She is truly the best. Thank you Patty.

You made us all feel right at home.
