So, about 4 weeks ago now, several friends came over and we had a Ladies Cooking Night at my house. It was during the time that my mom was here, so she was a big help in getting my kitchen looking a little more Italian than it normally does. 
Making the breadsticks while Janell tells a fascinating story
Yes, the theme was Italian food. So, we had a couple different pasta options, homemade alfredo sauce, homemade spaghetti sauce, a lovely salad, freshly grated parmasean cheese, etc. 
Stuffing shells (Deb, Leatrice, Katie)
We made stuffed shells together, as well as fresh, homemade breadsticks from scratch. They were really good, too. I think I'll make them again for me and the boys, sometime. We had Italian sodas and tiramisu torte.

And, there was wine and good conversation. Well, eventually, there was wine. :)
Deb and Cara attempting to uncork the wine
C'mon, Cara, you can do it
Why don't you stand on a chair for some better leverage
And, then, there was wine!
It was a really fun night, especially as we pulled questions out of a bowl and learned new things about one another....some things that we should have known a long time ago, and some things that maybe we should never have learned. :) j/k 
Answering some interesting questions
Apparently, Cara is practicing her balancing on the exercise ball
Anyways, hopefully, we'll have an opportunity to do it again sometime in the near future. Enjoy the pictures!

I remember coming over to your house in college for a cooking day. I think we made homemade pasta? Do you remember that? I was just starting to get to know Amy. When you come into town, se should have another one. :)
