Wine and Cheese
Tonight, 6 close girl-buddies are coming over and we’re going to sit out in my beautiful “Little Italy” backyard and eat big! We do this, the six of us, about once a month. It’s a blast. We pick one of our homes as the party house and through email blasts back and forth, we decide who is bringing what part of the meal and who is bringing the wine. Every time, we have an amazing meal. Because all my gal-pals are great cooks!
