I was never a big fan of pot luck parties. One of my great joys is throwing dinner parties. I enjoy pouring the love I have for my friends and family into a home cooked meal accompanied by good conversation and lots of hugs afterward. I want them to visit my home without worrying about a dish to bring. Since joining a lunch cooperative at my new job the idea of a potluck is starting to grow on me. Basically, a lunch cooperative is similar to a potluck. Basically, you form a group, decide on recipes that everyone will enjoy that are nutritious, and choose the day of the week that you will cook for the group.

TweetThe Proposal – Movie Review
Movie Title: The Proposal Rating: PG-13 Director: Anne Fletcher Staring: Sandra Bullock; Ryan Reynolds; Mary Steenburgen; Craig T. Nelson and Betty White Category: Romantic ComedyMoms of Faith Rating: 3 out of 10Intro: A very disappointing romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock.Review: Normally, I love Sandra Bullock's films. However, this one was not a winner for me. Sure, there were a couple good parts...like when her character got a conscience and it was humorous at times. Unfortunately, it missed the mark in so many other areas...On the negative side: There was a lot of weird spiritual references, symbolism and chanting done by the grandmother (Betty White).
