Fort Lauderdale??

Thanks, everyone! I have passed along this thread! I sent him to Tarks last night and everyone loved it. Looks like he won't have a problem finding a place tonight! Wish I was there with him- it's breezy and chilly in DC today...

I need a heart-shaped casserole dish recipe!

Bread pudding is something I have always wanted to make... I had my eye on Ina's Croissant bread pudding. Maybe I will give that a try!
Mac and cheese is another favorite, but I already have a fridge full of delicious cheesy leftovers (made it during the blizzard)!! Thanks for your ideas!

Potbelly Sandwich Works: Big Sandwiches for a Small Price

I love the chicken salad with extra hot peppers! The mini bag of oatmeal cookies are also a huge hit at my office. Yum!

Anchorage!

Wow! Thanks to both of you for your enthusiastic responses.
I am leaving this Sunday, so will likely miss any solstice events. However, I am definitely excited to try out some of your recommendations. I am planning on checking out some of those breweries- I have heard lots of good things!

Semarr- I was thinking of heading down to Girdwood so I will seek out the Double Musky. I have been told that the Seward highway drive is the most beautiful in the world.

I am really looking forward to this trip. I wasn't given much notice, and I am traveling by myself- but I am determined to make the best of it! It's a long flight from DC, but I am super excited to get up there!

Dinner Club — looking for a creative way to entertain at home

I am in a dinner club that meets once a month and is hosted at a different member's home each time. The host creates the menu, with the recipes included, and sends it out at least a week before we meet. Everyone is assigned something different (appetizers, cocktails, salads, sides, desert, etc). It started with one person inviting one friend, and that friend inviting one friend that no one else knew, etc. We have 7 members which has worked out to be an ideal number in order to fill up courses (usually at least one person can't make it). It has been a great way to meet new friends in all kinds of different and interesting professions and to learn how to cook things outside of our comfort zone. We are all women, but this would be a fun ideas for couples as well! We live in the DC area and call our group UP- or Urban Picnic. Good luck starting your own!

Celebrity Chef Cookware?

Great idea. Thanks! I do enjoy Marshall's. I will probably head there this weekend.
A friend once told me that the Le Creuset cookware that is sold at the discount stores are 'knock offs'. I didn't think she was right... but does anyone know if there is any truth to that?

Celebrity Chef Cookware?

I really need to purchase a dutch oven and I have my heart set on buying my first Le Creuset piece. Being that I am young and poor, I could use some advice. Should I bite the bullet- or are there similar quality brands out there for less $$$? First time poster... Thanks!
