Cooking Can Be Fun....

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009, was Enrichment Night. Kelli Devoe taught us how to make some of her favorite Portuguese recipes. We each brought an ingredient for our favoirte dish and had a fun exchange. I got a great stew recipe which Bob will really like and Loraine Nelson gave me her favorite "Miss Piggy" Cookie recipe. I'll let you know how that turns out. You all know how I hate to cook, but I really enjoyed learning to make something so different. Thanks Kelli.

This is the final product of two of the dishes that we learned to make. We also did noodles for our chicken noodle soup and of course we ate cookies for dessert. It was a yummy night with lots of good conversation.

Olympia can be very beautiful, when it's not raining and the sky is just right. One of the things on the list was a picture of a kiss. This is the "Kissing Statue" at Percival Landing (the southern most tip of the Puget Sound). How romantic....

Met some wonderful people while we were looking for things on our scavenger hunt. This is a shot up by the capital, overlooking downtown Olympia.

Fun Times With the Single Adults

What a fun nights activity. It's been awhile since we went on a scavenger hunt. While we were getting a picture of artesian water we decided that we'd get a nice cool drink....all at once.
