GeorgiaSince moving back to GA, the hubs and I have hosted quite a few dinner parties. Friends, family. Friends & Family.. Casual, fun. Never fancy. Just spending time with our favorite people. Well a few months ago we had a couple of our nephews over for lasagna. One month it was for some of Randy's best tacos (EVER). We decided to start something new and have a monthly showdown. The first showdown was Sopapillas (Pretty sure there's a post for it). Last night we revisited Lasagna. Zane's lasagna had fresh basil and mozzarella, Dora's (Brandon's girlfriend) also had fresh basil and a yummy cheese blend and mine was a classic Al Forna with a béchamel sauce. We had the harshest judge in the history of the Minghelli/Pickering/Fadley showdown. Zane and Morgan's oh so close to being 8 years old son Gabriel. He did not critique with flowery words. He just straight up gave everyone a 10. Or maybe it was 10,000. Either way. According to Gabriel we all won. I like that kid. I also made some garlic knots ( I thought they were way too tough, but everyone else seemed to like them) and some key lime ricotta cookies. (very light, fluffy and full of key lime flavor) Gabriel claimed a spot in the sunroom as his own and was also kind enough to leave me a list of things to have at the house for him when he comes to visit. I can appreciate a person who knows what they want and isn't afraid to ask for it Photo at top is food, Brandon and Dora (Dora is loving on the newest member of the family, Ember) As always the absolute best part was spending time with some of our favorite people.
Our next showdown is going to be dumplings. Date and time tbd Until then! Georgia |
