Recap
Big shocker…everything was awesome.  Carrie made a frittata that was so good it would make you wanna slap your mama.  Seriously though, I could eat a wedge of that everyday for breakfast.  The Shooks take on strawberry shortcake was divine. I also loved the granola with yogurt.  I’m not gonna lie, the energy level was just not there last night.  It was as tired as I’ve seen this group.  We ate, we talked, we went home…dog tired.  Sara couldn’t even attend due to our youngest daughter barfing on her.  It was still great to see everyone and the food, as stated, was fabulous (and quite labor intensive…although Carrie will never admit that).
