Cooking Club 1.0

The first night, we were just making the rules. Cooking Club was born. We cooked at R.J.'s house.

Date: July 2, 2008 (Ben, RJ and MK had the next day off for a long 4th of July weekend. . .MET had to work)

Venue: R.J.'s house

Attendance: Founding Members (Ben, MK, MET, R.J.)

Menu:
- Chips + MK's guacamole
- Flank steak with cilantro sauce
- Green Bean Salad (crisp tender) with Shallots (lots of 'em)
- Homemade Angel Food Cake + Homemade Whipped Cream (whipped to stiff peaks) and Strawberries
- Wine

Key Learnings:
- Trust the recipe (we were really worried about the cilantro sauce)
- Everyone needs a mini-food processor (note: as of Cooking Club 3.0, all 4 founding members now own one)
- We should do this bi-weekly
- Harvesting your own herbs is uber-rewarding
- Rose Wine is not hotdog wine
- Wine is good.

Cost: $$

Sorry to just bring you up to speed on the Cooking Club, but after two successful outings, we felt that it was important to keep the world updated.

Pictures: MK's iPhone lost them. You can thank Steve Jobs for that.
