Oh Fred – The Apple of My Eye
October 24, 2006
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.
I didn’t know supper club killed it’s own dinner. Oh – that’s just Fred. In the rotisserie. Tasty, delicious, succulent Fred.
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.
Another successful evening of fun with friends and food! From tasty turkey string and crispy skin to a euphoric apple dessert inspiring ice cream theft … and a 80s trivia game that was never finished … ’twas an evening to remember! Somehow there was even leftovers for everyone (except our gracious host!) so they could relive dinner again the next day for lunch. Don’t worry Lisa – you shall be feasting on some delicious turkey soup (ala Fred) this coming weekend while we have our hands deep in chocolate dog production!
What did we learn from this evening’s event?
*Rotisserie rocks so hard that it needs WD-40 to keep it’s arthritic gears from squeeking.
*Blue is evil in Totally 80’s Trivial Pursuit.
*It’s LI vs. NJ in the F.L.A.M. competition! (Can you figure out the acronym?)
*The ante is now up – the host even had theme-appropriate handtowels in the bathroom!

You all ready to battle Apple?
Appetizers, Dinner, Dessert & Drinks.
All Apple – All the Time.
Music – 90s Tunes.
Shall I bring Fiona Apple as well?
Did you know Apples are fat, cholesterol and sodium free? Well we just have to remedy that people!
See you Saturday!
Totally 80s
October 3, 2006
I was sitting here thinking about themes for upcoming supper clubs … and I think we really should consider a Totally 80s gathering!
Reasons why I am voting for an 80s themed party:
I know we all have the CD from Supper Club I for theme music, so Jay can take a little break from downloading madness.
We just purchased the Totally 80s Trivial Pursuit and I’m dying to play.
We have Pac-Man for pre-dinner entertainment.
I’ve been researching foods that were popular in the 80s … Chester Cheetah was invented in 1986! Come on people – CHEETOS!!!!!!
You all know you have latent desires to wear leg warmers and tight jeans with holes in them 
The wave people … the WAVE. I’ll have to go and get some Aquanet!
