We started with some easy favorites to get us back in the rhythm of cooking together. With a soft start of 7:30 (and an actual work time of 8pm), we were easily done by 9:30 to finish up the cleaning, the accounting, and the planning for the new year. Mojitos by H. were a welcome treat this evening. I think cocktails may become a regular part of our monthly get-togethers.

Plans for Fall 2013
- Pick a monthly meeting day via doodle.
- Cocktails yes, elaborate snack purchases, no. Perhaps purchase one thing or rely on items brought from our own kitchens.
- Keep the jobs low key...
M. hosts and orders the meat.
LB does the printouts and same day directions.
T. and H. alternate shopping.
LP does the ingredients/shopping lists and accounting during MAM.
Sixth spot remains open for guest cook. - Try to find a balance between marinades and cooked recipes; newly-found versus tried-and-true favorites; unique dishes versus reliable ones with that we can finish quickly.
- Check out Wedgwood MAM blog for recipe ideas.
- More fish marinades.
- Consider a gift-making MAM in December to make food gifts for sharing: Lemoncello, dried soups, caramels, dipping oil, and something else that M. mentioned.
- Recipes to include this fall: meatballs, enchiladas, breakfast bars, curry.
- Create our own record of MAM recipes and cooking sessions.
- September: salad dressing, breakfast bar, Thai chicken burgers,
October: herb butter, cashews, meatballs
November: curry, stuffed mushrooms
