<div style="font-size: 12px;">
**<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Freezing Tip</span>: If using frozen meat, <i>do not</i> thaw it all the way . Uncooked meat should not be completely thawed, mixed with other ingredients, and then frozen again without being cooked first.</div>

We decided to free up our options and forgo a theme this time. We had a new cook join us, we are happy to have you Stefanie!<br />
We're missing a couple pictures, our photographer, Susanne, was kept busy with all the hosting duties but trust me, all the meals look wonderful!<br />
Our next party will be in June and we'll be doing things a little differently due to busy schedules during the Summer weekends. Instead of getting together to assemble the meals, we'll be preparing our own meals at home and just doing an exchange on a week day. We'll still be sharing recipes but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the ones from our last party!Kate @ When Hello Means Goodbyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07628566143441192635noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378447256841153816.post-28158425338296445202013-04-17T16:33:00.000-07:002013-04-17T16:33:23.873-07:00Pineapple Grilled Pork Chops from Stefanie<br />
