 Summer 2009

During the Summer of 2009, we started to incorporate various countries and regions, as well as a few "fun" themes for our weekly Challenges.  Our group continued to grow, and we would often have 20+ people gathered around our gourmet picnic tables. 
Summer 2008
These Concerts in the Park took place prior to There's a Newf in My Soup was launched and I would e-mail our group a recap of the event and include a few photos.  Each week, we used the secret ingredient from the Iron Chef America episode that aired that week.  These posts contain my abbreviated recaps of the concerts, photos, and the menu of what was served.  Unfortunately, the posts do not contain the recipes/links, but are simply included to provide inspiration for an Iron Chef theme party!
