This is a group for true food enthusiasts. This is for people who have so much to give, that all other food groups seem inadequate. This is for those who want both an outlet and an audience. I want us to create extraordinary dishes together. Extraordinary does not necessarily mean complex. For me, it means bringing simple dishes back to their full glory. When was the last time you had Bucatini all'Amatriciana that echoed of the fabled dish of Rome and Amatrice? When was the last time you had S …

This is a meetup for women who appreciate beer and want to brew it. Brewing has predominately been considered a male undertaking. The oldest written document is a Sumerian Clay tablet. It is a recipe for beer. Beer is made up of the same ingredients for bread and everything needed was found in any kitchen of that age. It was women who brewed the beer. They had a goddess, her name was NinKasi. She was a brewmaster. For over a millenium and centuries after, women continued to brew beer. Women entr …

Good books and good food go hand in hand, I think! A not-taken-too-seriously sort of women's book group that also shuns your everyday "chicklit" - not because some aren't romping good reads but they don't exactly warrant full discussion. Meetings take place at a restaurant or establishment so we can all try new places. Also, if you don't quite get around to finishing the book (or reading it for that matter...no worries!).  Just feel free to come to the meetings and socialize too.  Quarterly, we …

I formed this group for two reasons: 1)  Being single can be lonely and sometimes it can be hard to get up off the couch and do something.  This group provides an informal way to meet other ladies.  It's not a date where there is pressure involved or awkwardness if it doesn't work out.  It's important to stay mobile, stay active and socialize!  How else will you meet your soul mate? 2)  People ask if they are dating someone can they still be part of the group?  I say YES!!  It's very important w …
