BiteClub Benefit
You may remember us blogging about BiteClub– the new social networking site for foodies – a few weeks ago. You may even remember that BiteClub CEO, Sunny Mayugba, is a Sacramento native. But did you know that BiteClub is hosting a networking event on Monday, June 9th to encourage members of the restaurant and bar community to come together? The event will be held at Empire on 15th & R Streets starting at 8 pm. And the best part? All proceeds go to benefit “Suzanne,” a local bartender who is undergoing leg rehabilitation after a fall that left her unable to walk. The event is guest list only, but you can be added to the list by joining BiteClub and connecting with the event’s profile.
If you attend, be sure to check back in and let us SacFoodies know how it was by leaving a comment below.
Thanksgiving Recap
Jamie and Allie with the before pie…
and after
With help from my nieces Jamie and Allie, the “Modern Mince Pie” turned out quite good! It was difficult to tell if I really liked it or not being so disgustingly stuffed after dinner, so I tried it for breakfast the next morning and gave it a thumb’s up (not my favorite pie, but happy the old man liked it.)
“Run for the Hungry” race at J and 47th
We started the day with what has become my favorite Thanksgiving tradition – a bloody mary and gin fizz from Club2Me while cheering on the participants of “Run to Feed the Hungry” race. We were thrilled to see fellow FHer Vanessa Smith with her husband Lance among the runners, and they are a couple after my own heart – both had a mimosa in hand – cheers!

Since this was the first year hosting Thanksgiving, it was also the first year of leftovers. We had the traditional “leftover” dinner on Friday night; made broccoli soup from the hardly touched side dish along with turkey paninis Saturday night; simmered stock and made meatballs by putting leftover turkey in the food processor, then rolled with egg and bread crumbs for a delicious twist on Mexican albondigas soup (recipe from the “Two Hot Tamales”) on Sunday night. It was so yummy we’re having it again for dinner and as my husband said, ‘after tonight, we’re finished with Thanksgiving!’ Yep, we’ve got a tree to decorate tonight so bring on Christmas and all the festive food we look forward to making and eating!
