Seven Years!

The neighborhood cooking group that I started 7 years ago celebrated it's anniversary tonight. Iron Chef Bountiful is a make and take neighborhood cooking contest. The hostess chooses the theme ingredient.  We bring a dish that contains the ingredient. We eat, chat, laugh, and then vote on our favorites. The winners take home trophies, and the losers (and the winners) take home full bellies and good memories of an evening well spent.  For our anniversary we always go out to eat.  Tonight we hit the Dodo in SLC for some really good food, and some exceptionally terrible service.  You win some, you lose some... And speaking of winning, today marks the official 1 year anniversary of finding out that Ryan had colon cancer. Fast forward one year later, and he has a clean bill of health, and is off celebrating/ working in Scotland.  Time flies.  So glad that the year of cancer is over.

We were the "Dodo"s for not leaving sooner. There's just no reason for it to take 35 minutes after the meal is over to bring checks.  Seriously, no reason.
