July '10 Menu

Okay, so if you're anything like me, skipping June was ROUGH on your family dinner time. I'm looking in my empty freezer counting down the days until the July meals are ready. Well, it's time to send out the menu and ask for RSVPs. As always, the RSVP deadline is the FIRST Friday of the month (July 2nd) and the party will be held the THIRD Friday of the month (July 16th).

***Please remember that if you RSVP to order meals, you are responsible for payment. We can always try our best to sell your meals, but ultimately you are responsible. All of the items are purchased with my personal money and I don't get paid back until everyone has paid. (It has nothing to do with me being a pain!)***

Anyways. As I mentioned, the party will be held on Friday, July 16th at 7:00 pm. Please note that I have a new home, so the party will be held at my new home. (Email if you need the address.) My home number has also changed. If you need to reach me for any reason, my home number is (281) 758-0838. We will be providing the meat for all ten meals this month, so the cost for July is $145 (before any "special" orders). The menu is listed below, with a new addition. We have received feedback that it would be nice to know in advance the amount of cooking time (along with the cooking method). By including this, hopefully you will be able to plan your weekly meals a little better (i.e. you don't set out a meal with a 2 hour cook time if you don't get home from work until 7 pm). Read below and please let us know NO LATER than next Friday if you will be ordering or not.

Baked Ravioli - a casserole of cheese-stuffed ravioli in a meat sauce (bake, 1 hour)

(*)Blackjack Steak - steak grilled with a sweet-tangy marinade (grill, 15-20 minutes)

Here's a reminder of any "special" orders we will need to know about when RSVPing....

Servings of 2 - add $10
Additional orders of meals marked with (*) - add $2 *NOTE: EACH PERSON"S ORDER COMES WITH ONE OF THE MARKED MEAL*

Payment is due by the Sunday following the party. If you are unable to pick up your meals the weekend that the party is held, please mail payment to the above address.

I've been out of commission on the meal-making for a month, so I'm trying to make sure I've included everything that you might need to know. If I've forgotten anything or you have any questions, don't hesitate to call or email. Thanks and have a blessed afternoon!
