ML Men's Cookout

Yesterday we were invited to attend the Men's Cookout at Brian and Janelle's. This is their second annual Men's Potluck... and only the men are allowed to cook. They also did all the serving and a lot of the clean up too! The selections were all quite tasty... I don't know why, but I didn't take pictures of food like I normally do (hahaha). We will definitely allow them to cook again though.

This year's theme was a Summer Theme. So whatever you chose to do, dress like summer in the middle of February, or bring a summer dish.... etc. Bryon Pearman even supplied sunscreen to all the ladies. :)

Dean made Pina Coladas for everyone so he was busy for a lot of the potluck... we also made a pool cake... I had to do it in case there were no desert dishes... hahahah. But surprisingly, there were plenty of deserts. Burnt Grapes, Cheesecake, Fiddle Diddles.... etc.

Here is a pic of all the men that were there .... sorry Bill, looks like you are hiding behind Darren. Janelle, if you have a better pic, let me know, and I would appreciate a copy!



Here is another pic of my pathetic attempt at the Dive-on-In Jello Pool Cake! I will never use Cool Whip again like the recipe says!!! Lesson learned that I will also freeze the 9X13 cakes before decorating... you might notice they are falling apart at the seams!


And here is what the cake SHOULD look like!
