I like to shake it up a bit. Maybe even spell things wrong, ha ha! But I want to welcome our newest members! Have you looked at the numbers? We are at 98! Two beautiful souls away from 100, and I'm excited! Let's give our best warm welcome to @Jacqulynn Tamanini @Katinka van Kan @Keith Berg and @Taras Mokrytskyi ! As always, I thoroughly enjoy the multiculturalness of this community. We have people from all over Goma, and it's that unique culture that everyone brings that makes this community special. I invite all our new friends to introduce themselves in a new post, and I want to invite everybody to post or comment with your very favorite meal or recipe. (Bonus points if you share the recipe! ) Let's get 98 recipes posted... If anyone can do it, this amazing community can! Thank you to the new members for joining our crowd, thank you to the existing members for being here always! Someone once asked me if I had to describe what My community would be like if it was a place, like a physical place, what would it look like. I gave a wonderful long description, and I chose this picture. Feel free to join me by the pool, enjoy the warmth in the sun, and spend a little time getting to know each other in this community.

As always, I'm running a little late with this. An amazing thing happened last week... Riley, one of my prodigal daughters, came home, and I ended up being in a tizzy trying to cram as much time in as possible. But I wanted to make sure that I welcome our new members, so happy to have you here! @Jenna Kelly @Jenna Phillips and the quiet leader, @Björn Hagemann thank you for joining our space! I'd love to see a post introducing yourselves and telling us a little bit about who you are. Also, tell us a little bit about your favorite food or your favorite place to travel... We're happy to hear anything and share anything. Everybody, please welcome our newest members into the fold! We're so glad you're here.

Coming up in a little over an hour, anyone who’s around is welcome to drop in! Today’s call will be 45 minutes as I have another commit commitment right afterwards. See you soon!

I don't love selling in here. That's never been the point of this space, but I also realized something... Some of you don't actually know what I offer, and more importantly, how simple it is to use. So I'm just going to let you know that I have created something new in the classroom. It's kind of always been there, but I'm revamping it and recreating it. The truth is, many couples don't struggle because they don't care. They struggle because they're busy, they're tired, and by the end of the day, no one wants to plan anything, so nothing happens. That's exactly why I created Chef's Kiss Date Night Cooking Classes inside this community! You'll find it in the classroom tab. It's simple. Every month, I run one to two guided cooking date nights. You don't plan anything; just pick a night, grab the ingredients, press play, and do it together! That's it. Not perfection. No stress. Just a done-for-you date night... and we should all have more date nights. Plus, it's easy enough that you'll actually do it. It's $27 a month for now. No pressure. Just wanted to let you know it's there. DFY Date nights. Perfect for busy couples who love food and each other! (And… if you want a test drive… drop ITALY in the comments and I’ll send you my Italian themed Date Night cooking class ❤️ to get the Chef’s Kiss experience!)

Anyone who's around, I'd love to have you join us in 10 minutes for a coffee chat. Drop in, drop out, whatever works! See you soon!
