Chicks Rule was the theme for this month's Food Club. But in my book, anyone who makes delicious food is a legend.
While we were able to choose any female chef or cook, most of us chose Janelle Bloom. Notable mentions included Donna Hay, Stephanie Alexander, Anna Gare and Martha Stewart. The menu looked a lot like this:
DRINKS
Ginger Caipirinihas by Martha Stewart
ENTREE
Individual entrée platters with assorted Martha Stewart appetisers (Martha's Cheddar Cheese Ball, Thyme Crackers, Herbed Cheese with Pears, Pine Nuts and honey, Sauteed black olives with tomatoes, gingered nuts)
SOUP

MAINS
Chicken Pot Pies by Janelle Bloom

But do you know what I loved the most? That my sweet foodies came to my home, and I was able to be part of Food Club after being AWOL for the past three food clubs. You have no idea the sadness! It was so lovely to be eating with my favourite foodies once more.
And as you can tell, the food was just awful.
Tell me, have you started your own food club yet?
