Oh man!  I was hoping to be the first to review, but Frank beat me.  Oh well!  I guess I'll have to take "Second to Review", then.

Lucky me, my friend invited me to go along with her to the preview of Dream Dinners in Newark, CA.   I"ve heard so much about these dinner places where you go and put together all the ingredients for several meals and then you stock your freezer with "healthier than frozen processed foods" meals.  My curiosity was peaked!  I love to cook and usually am doing it by myself so when imagining the experience I had difficulty visualizing how so many people could possibly move around to prepare meals.  It just didn't make sense to me.

There is a system and it worked pretty well.  Because I split meals with my friends, I walked away with three amazing meat dishes that will carry me for the next couple of weeks; two pork chop meals (one of which had a red pepper aioli) and one pecan crusted chicken.  I can easily make them into salads or whip up some side dishes.  I can't wait to taste them.  To tickle our palates, they provided some appetizers for us that were going to be on next month's menu.  YUMMY!  

I can't wait to do this again.  Next time, maybe I'll see if I can grab a date and go together.  It would be a fabulous "get to know you" sort of activity (and to see if your potential mate might have some cooking/measuring skills).  

I definitely see this happening again in the near future.  How can you beat socializing and the preparation of meals you don't have shop or prep for.  

So glad there's one close to home now!
