HAPPY COOKING

Over the years we have eaten a good many, good things....

We have some excellent cooks in this group
and I am going to start compiling these recipes
and listing them as Bunco Recipes
and also under the contributors name. 
Any recipes you would like me to include
please email me. 
I will also try and get some pictures to go with the recipe. 

HAPPY COOKING

Vivian's Bunco ...............???

In the lovely month of May we celebrated
Vivian's Bunco
Peggy's 2nd Bunco

Peggy usually hosts our marvelous Christmas bunco, but this May
Peggy hosted bunco for the second time this year.  Vivian, our lovely
matriarch has not been feeling well, and was not able to host,
so Peggy, being the wonderful friend and neighbor she is
offered her services
What a wonderful time we had, starting with beverages on her lovely porch.





or at least a few of us did.  Isn't this
lovely with the string of lights?

Peggy cooked for us too.  
I was a little late so I didn't get a good
picture of her delicious food, but I did get to eat it.
She made several delicious quiches, salad, rolls and
much more.....and oh so scrumptious

It was a fun and silly night...
check out the highlights...


When you see a photo like this don't you wonder
what they are up to?
My guess would be they were putting a hex on me for
taking pictures.

Here's Patty reading her fortune...and by the look on Julia's face
it was not so good.
No, that wasn't it. 
I think we were drawing bachelors out of the hat for our
Bachelorette pool.

It was extremely serious business and very official.
I just wish I had gotten better bachelors.  I heard last night
that Diana might have gotten one of the better potential picks

Here is our resident bag lady...that's right ... Shelley
Shelley's goal was to see how much she could carry from table to table
Next time we may want to give her a shopping cart.
(Really Shelley, you don't have to carry your purse all evening)
She gives two fisted drinker a whole new meaning.



We also had some bell issues...actually we had dice issues too. 
Tammie someone, I won't name names
forgot to bring the bunco bag.
This bell worked just fine though.

I can't be sure...but I am thinking Debbie's watching Shelley carry
her purse from table to table...either that
or maybe she is wanting Diana's bachelor pick.
The paparazzi came in and took some random shots
Is this Katina's good side?  I always forget.
All of the tables had such pretty flowers from
Peggy's garden (maybe Vivian's too?)


Shot from the kitchen looking into the dining room
I could be wrong...but I think Charissa is telling
one of her famous stories.



and then came the gifts.  All the gifts were tied with a
cute little bow attached to a girls best friend.....no not diamonds.
COLD HARD CASH

Here are some random
WINNERS
Debbie

Shelley

Cynthia

and some that didn't win but were still WINNERS

Patty


and Rosie with a friend



and for those of you who don't remember which
bachelor you picked...here is the list



The question is.....WHO SHALL WIN?
Good Luck

Thanks to Peggy for such
a great evening....
FUN, FUN, FUN.

Charissa's April Bunco

I know, and you know I am talking to all
of you out there that are not reading this Bunco Blog, I have
been a slacker again.

In April we enjoyed a delightful bunco party at
Charissa's

As always, Charissa was an excellent hostess.
Here she is welcoming us into her home....



Oh wait,  this isn't Charissa, this is her darling pup

Is this side better?



I think so too...
Here is our lovely hostess





Oh my, now I am really embarressed.  I know she was there.
She put out this wonderful spread for us




and this





Just delicious
and did I mention the lovely gifts?

Charissa is extremely creative and all of the gifts were
wrapped in the most charming way.



She even made her own wrapping paper on her computer



and this



and finally here is Charissa



We had such a great time as always.






Thanks Charissa



Seeing Green - Tammies March Bunco

Bunco time at Tammies




Another terrific bunco bites the dust.  Tammie
hosted our March St. Patrick's Day Bunco
and boy were we seeing green.  But I get ahead of
myself.  We were greeted by Tammie's
smiling face as we arrived




Tammie had originally scheduled this bunco in time to
celebrate St. Patrick's Day...but as any good Irishman knows
you don't need no stink'in day to celebrate...any day will do.
So with the green, came the fun....
(more on the stink'in part later)

and of course we needed food...
and Tammie
did not disappoint.  She provided
us with a Mexican feast.
Salad
Enchiladas
Tacos
Chips and Salsa
Delicious

Did I mention the cake?


First business
Check your name and address so Cynthia
could print our lovely schedule for the upcoming year.
I wonder who got October?


Then the fun began....here is Peggy and special guest sub Wendi.
Thanks for subbing Wendi!!!


Okay now comes the stink'in part I was telling you about. 
Can you guess where the stink'in came from?
No, it wasn't from our guest sub.

But it was smelled by everyone


Especially by Peggy....over and over again.


The culprit



Innocent but maybe
with just a touch of GAS ...

Then there were gifts and winners...
Katina


Cynthia



Patty


Beautiful gifts....good shoppa Tammie

and lots of silliness


A little hexing of the dice for luck



And then it was time to ring the bell until next month



Thanks Tammie for a great Bunco as usual.




Green never looked so good
