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.

December gathering

The 26th gathering of the Ragamuffin Cooking Club is hereby announced! It's time for our 2nd annual cookie swap!! It's been a favorite! (See last year's pictures here.)

Theme: Cookie swap

Date & Time: Saturday, December 8th, 6:30pm (you might like to have a light dinner beforehand because this is going to be ALL COOKIES!)

Place: Chad & Karen's

The Rules: Some of you enjoy making holiday cookies for gifts or Christmas parties, so a cookie swap will be a great way to get new recipe ideas! If EVERYONE is able to come we will have 12-15 people, but most likely closer to 10-12. So everyone can try about four of each person's cookie (2 to taste at the club gathering, 2 to bring home and ponder later), then each person/couple should bring about three dozen cookies. Also, this time it will be very important to bring copies or web links of your recipe to share! And, to get your extra 10-16 cookies home, be sure to bring ziploc bags or containers.

We need signups for the following:

• 3 dozen cookies
• 3 dozen cookies
• 3 dozen cookies
• 3 dozen cookies
• 3 dozen cookies + drink (perhaps a holiday punch?)
• etc. etc. etc.

To prevent duplicates, please post what kind of cookie you will be making, and hopefully we'll have a nice variety. (In other words, we shouldn't end up with six different kinds of sugar cookies, but one would be fine!) We want EVERYONE to be able to bring cookies this time, so if one of you can volunteer to also bring drinks of some sort (perhaps a holiday punch or apple cider?) that would be great.
