For those of you that did not join us for our first Italian gathering, or those that forgot what we ate, here is a link to our menu so we don't have repeats. As you can see, we were marinara-free for our first gathering, but I doubt that will happen twice! I simply cannot wait. I LOVE ITALIAN FOOD.

Some of our favorite wintertime combos are soups & sandwiches. Let's try a few! We can go with old tried-and-true favorites like chicken noodle soup or club sandwiches, or go for a more unique approach. For the sandwiches, if possible, cut them into appetizer-sized samples so we can each try a bit of everything. For the soups, just make enough for everyone to sample about a half serving's worth - a regular 6-person batch will probably suffice.

Some soup recipes can be found here, and some sandwich ones here.
