Last Friday's Beer Night was a success!  
Thanks to all who helped in the process as my usual front of house was not available.  Photos of the event here.

I've been pinging the masses and have come up with the following theme for next Monday's dinner: Say Cheese!  Each course will have a flavor profile that exhibits a unique cheese and will be paired with a wine brought by YOU.  I will notify the individual wines that we'll need and again, no obligation to spend more than $2 on your bottle.  

This is the first event where the attendees will be given direction on which type of wine to bring - hopefully with a positive result!  Also, a previous brainstorm session had agreed on the theme "Drunk and Full of Cheese" which would be pretty much the same idea.

Hey Friends,
 
Hurry up and RSVP Here, then read the rest of this invite.
 
Thanks to those who made it to this week's Monday Night Dinner Party.  Pictures have not yet been posted as I am still recovering from this week's shennanagans (including a triple Icing at last night's beach bonfire).
 
Due to the B.A.C. caused by the last Beer Night dinner, it has been decided that future Beer Nights will have to take place on Fridays.  Even more exciting, our own MNDP attendee, Mike "Prof" McGuirk has graciously offered up his own homebrew for the next beer night.

As May comes rolling in, the sun comes out in the city (at least in Potrero Hill) and trees and plants are blossoming everywhere you look.  What better way to celebrate the arrival of spring than a honey themed dinner?  Thanks to Matt Frantz for helping come up with the inspiration to this dinner and hopefully we can get his beekeeping friend to shell out some local goods.
