Last night, bettyjoan and I co-hosted the first DC Food Blogger Potluck. It was such a fantastic opportunity to meet so many great new people and talk food. I have not been this full since Thanksgiving, but it is worth it. (Seriously, day later, still full.)
Represented was: DC Food Blog, Food Rockz, Looking2Live, Jacob Grier, Kitchen Tango, Spork and Knife, So Good, Draw Conclusions on the Wall, and EatFoo(d).
The food was awesome, the company was even better and we cannot wait to hold another one.
Pictures really cannot do this justice but here are a few…
Mixologist Jake Mixes it Up
Israeli Cous Cous Salad, Curry Potatoes, Irish Beef Stew, Brussel Sprout Hash, bettyjoans Spinach Dip
Irish Soda Bread, Rosemary Whole Wheat Bread, Mint Brownie Bars, Rum Cake, Armaretto Cake
Me and bettyjoan, feeling pleased with how things went
You do look pleased. I’m glad it went over well. I am more glad that there were no fires. [ahem]
Sorry I didn’t make it. It’s really for the best though- I was too hungover to make anything even remotely edible.
So many great dishes! Everyone that contributed was wonderful and I can see why people love to read about their escapades and creations! Can’t wait until the next one.

DCfoodblog: The picnic will be fab.
I am still so full, so happy, and SO bowled over by everyone’s amazing dishes and personalities. It was awesome to meet everyone and to get a glimpse into the passion behind all the great food! Let’s definitely do it again soon.
