But due to stomach flu and coughs and colds and exposure to other illnesses, it didn't work out. And if we'd had a great year of getting together and cooking regularly throughout 2013, this change in the plan would have been easier to swallow.
I believe I've told you about the sisterhood before, but in case you've forgotten, I will tell you again.
We are made up of my daughter, S, who's pic you have seen on here quite a bit, myself and these two beautiful ladies.
We are work sisters. We all work for the same company. And the above pic actually includes two other work sisters, who also work for this same company. This pic was taken two years ago at S&K's wedding reception, and we all still work for Vi-Jon. That's pretty cool, if ya think about it.
But the four of us are also cooking sisters. And I am ashamed to admit that I don't have any pics of the four of us together in my files. How sad is that???
W, P, S and I used to get together about once every month and cook together. We did this for 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
We even hosted a couple of ladies' teas, which I happen to just love. But that's right, no pics of the cooking or the food or the teas in my files. Sista W has some on her FB page, so here is one stolen from her stock of the tea we hosted in 2011...how pretty is this? Including my daughter in the background?
We'd get together around 3 in the afternoon and cook like crazy, making a mess of every possible dish in W's kitchen and then sit down to feast on everything we had cooked.
And then, when we had eaten all that we could and had our Emily Post (don't ask why this guest is wearing an eye patch!) or Julia Child reading (what is aspic?) we'd sit around and dream for about 2 minutes about the cleaning staff that was at the ready to clean every one of those dirty dishes.
But that never happened, so we'd clean those dishes. And the fine china. And the crystal. Cause that is just how Sista W rolls. If the sistas are coming for dinner, we will eat on pretty dishes.
And you know what? We didn't get together once in 2013 and cook. Not once. And that is just plain wrong in my book.
So I am hereby resolved to make a goal of cooking together in 2014. We may not make 12 times, but dare we shoot for 6?
And I also resolve to take pics and record these events in 2014. We even started a blog once, but we weren't faithful to post there, so I will either post on that blog (if we can resurrect it) or here or both, but this is one of my resolutions for 2014.
Now if the sistas can just get and stay healthy enough to agree to help me with this resolution....
