Last night we kicked off the Paso Robles SLOWBOWL 2008 with vino, friends, and a "Mac and Cheese Smackdown".
We had three yummy Mac and cheese baked versions (by Marcia, Stephanie, and Palma), and even Dave's fried Mac&Cheese cubes! Appetizers, Kim's chili, Wendy's salad, and Colleen's Matzo Crunch rounded out our feast. 34 of us partied, and Deborah served every flavor of liquore imaginable (and some you wouldn't have imagined)!
Here is Shannon with our hostess gift:
For some reason, I've had trouble uploading some photos this morning....and I've tried two wireless places. I know where I can find several MODS to find out why. If I drink ONE more Starbucks Venti, I may die!
Jerry and Paul are in the room next door at the Melody Ranch. I met Jerry at 6:30 AM in my jammies and robe in the parking lot, (out to the car for a freezing smoke), on his way to the first coffee run of the day. There was ICE on the cars, but the sun is shining now.
We had breakfast with Jerry and Paul at the Cowgirl Cafe, so we are ready to hit the wineries. I will check in later...

Thanks for posting. Glad the Canadians made it before the storm.
Have a great time!

Great report Palma! Keep 'em coming. The visuals are hilarious... jammies and robes in parking lots...the twins reunited at a place called "The Cowgirl Cafe"...
I think this could be a movie! Have FUN! We all wish we were there.

Palma (and Brad...) thank you so much for my Pinot Noir Bottle Pillow. I love it and can't decide whether to put it on my couch or bed - probably the couch so I don't wreck it. :)
It was great to see you both and I'll see you in Savannah!
