Clever Posts Of The Week – January 16th
My wife and I are in a group of 5 other couples that have a potluck once a month. The location rotates, the host picking the theme of the food and the other couples bringing a appetizer, side dish, or desert that supports the theme. It’s a way to force us out of our comfort zones to try different foods, and it’s a heck of a good time. This weekend it’s our turn to host. The theme is “Cheese,” with everyone having to come up with a dish that has some sort of cheese in it. I’m firing up my smoker to make a pork fatty (basically ground pork rolled up with a delicious filling). It’s the first time I’ve made one, and I’m excited to see how it will turn out!

Thanks for the mention. Happy Friday and hope you have a great weekend!
You’re making me hungry 🙂 For some reason we agreed to host a sleepover for a couple of our friends kids tonight so I think we’re in for a pretty hectic one! They did the same for us a few weeks ago though meaning my Wife and I could go out for a meal, so it’s only right that we return the favour. Our boys are really excited to have their friends stay over too.
Hope you have a good one man and thanks for including my post!
Oooo a cheese-themed dinner–sounds delicious!! And that pork thing sounds amazing too. Thanks so much for including my post. I appreciate it 🙂
@MoneyBeagle – Great weekend indeed…hope yours rocked as well!
@Adam – LOL,we’ve done that as well. I’m always amazed at how late kids will stay up giggling and doing whatever even after the lights are out. Hope you get some sleep too!
@Mrs.Frugalwoods – It was so much fun, and my pork fattie turned out phenomenal. The creativity of what our friends brought over was unbelievable! Thanks for reading!
