Girls Night Out #2

There’s so much to write about! I’ve been busy with the end-of-the-year gifts for the teachers. Stay tuned in a few blogs for a snazzy tutorial that uses envelopes. But about Girls’ Night Out… the weekend after the Craft Social I went to my friend’s house for a some more socializing and a manicure. My hostess friend is someone I’ve known since middle school (we called it junior high, back then) and another friend from high school was also there. I hadn’t seen her since we graduated!

Since I haven’t been drinking much wine lately, I totally forgot to bring a bottle to share, but I did bring these little appetizers.

Quite easy to make… cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella cheese (cubed) and you favorite balsamic vinegar and olive oil mixture to dress (after you assemble). Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, or mix that with your dressing, and you’re good. A pint of cherry tomatoes (halved) will get you about 48 pieces, and 8 oz. of cheese will do the same. You don’t need much dressing, maybe a few tablespoons of oil and vinegar. We have some yummy black cherry balsamic from a store called “Olive & Well“. Such a nice foodie place!

And here’s my “mani”… I don’t get them often. Wouldn’t that be nice, though?
