This group is for singles over 50 who enjoy cooking, laughing and meeting new friends. The first meeting will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 18th at my home (Willow Glen area of San Jose). I'll provide some appetizers ans we can discuss how we'd like to structure these Meetups. My thought is each Meetup two people could prepare a specific dish while we observe and have some wine! Later it can evolve to a full meal and rotate to different member's homes.

Brrr... it's cold out there. Come join like minded foodies for Sunday dinner. Whereas Sunday is often leftovers night, join us for a home cooked meal and make new friends. Comfort food will be the theme as the cold weather leaves us craving heavier dishes and warmer food. The emphasis will be on fresh, locally grown and organic produce, free-range meats and California wines. Think sinful desserts made with Calebaut Chocolate, sweet berries, or Creme Brulee if you're game. If you like cooking wit …

Couples, between ages 50-whatever, meet on a monthly basis in a private home. The hostess for the month would prepare the dinner menu, cooking the main entree herself, and serving as hostess in her home. This would be one time a month, with each couple hosting about one time per year. The dinner group could have a theme to its menu, such as Chinese, Southern, Italian, etc. All recipes are given by the hostess, and are not hard to prepare. Couples need to commit to at least one year of membership …

I formed this group for two reasons: 1)  Being single can be lonely and sometimes it can be hard to get up off the couch and do something.  This group provides an informal way to meet other ladies.  It's not a date where there is pressure involved or awkwardness if it doesn't work out.  It's important to stay mobile, stay active and socialize!  How else will you meet your soul mate? 2)  People ask if they are dating someone can they still be part of the group?  I say YES!!  It's very important w …

Let's get together to enjoy good wine and rate it! I have done several blind wine tastings with family and friends and everyone in the room could not believe their pallet. A wine tasting party is an ideal way to get friends and family together to learn about wine and their likes. Great wine and good conversation always leads to a memorable event. The way we have done this in the past, everyone brings a bottle of wine or the host can pick the wines we will taste and everyone shares the bill. The …
