Technology really opens up our world, doesn't it? And being face to face makes it a little cozier :)<br /><br /><br />I hope you do try the recipe, Marnee! Let me know what you think. I don't make it too often because Kirk will eat it all in one sitting if I don't stop him, lol!Erin Knightleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368123673970225476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-42646504426410525962011-10-15T21:57:44.272-04:002011-10-15T21:57:44.272-04:00This sounds wonderful!

And I don't think anything will ever top it. I never realized just how lonely the writer's life can be until you meet someone in person and have a great time. It suddenly made me realize that I really need to take the time to get out and socialize more. I was missing out on something. And thanks to you wonderful ladies for a wonderful weekend. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much. Great blog, Erin as usual. I love your descriptions! They are so vivid. And thanks to everyone at the workshop. It was a huge help and I got the chance to meet with some fabulous writers!Suzie Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312483360154373125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-65404475035316994472011-10-11T11:30:47.061-04:002011-10-11T11:30:47.061-04:00Here here to everything you said, Dana!

I do feel like we worked out a lot of kinks in my projects, and I am so excited to dive back in. I think that women especially, need to have this face to face interaction. As wonderful as email and texting is, it cannot replace the intimacy created between friends when you are able to actually get together. I feel energized and creative, and I know it's due to you fabulous ladies, so thank you! :DOlivia Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754488304155415915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-46916659401177767592011-10-11T11:14:48.104-04:002011-10-11T11:14:48.104-04:00Nothing better than time with your peeps!

For an even easier method, just buy one of those rotisserie chickens instead of grilling your own.<br />And I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able to get together with you for our lunches now and then. It always makes my day! :)Erin Knightleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368123673970225476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-90775049188839052622011-10-11T11:02:33.133-04:002011-10-11T11:02:33.133-04:00Yummy recipe, Erin!
