And that's a wrap!

The majority of my excuse for not paying this blog much attention lately (other than my pathetic attempt via photo dumps) is due to the prep of the Taste of the Nation Atlanta - Share Our Strength's biggest culinary fundraiser in the country. No pressure, right?

Well, the big night was last Thursday at the Georgia Aquarium and it went so great! We raised over $700,000 to end childhood hunger in Georgia. (Kinda makes my $16K Baking Contest look like childs' play, huh?)

Let's be real. Could there be a cooler event backdrop? 

Our amazing chairmen! Pano and George rock, and are a huge factor in why Atlanta raises the most money.

Glad my mom and Diane were able to taste a bunch of the offerings!

Love seeing everyone so glammed up for the Black Tie Optional event! However, my dress was so tight in the chest I thought I was going to pass out. Does it look familiar? That's because it was the dress my bridesmaids wore! Thank you to my fabulous SIL for letting me borrow hers... and proving that she's skinnier than me. Darnit.

How handsome is my hubs in that tux?? 

Pulled out all the stops for the 25th anniversary!

Unwinding with Chef Mike, Allison and Kelly at the Chef After Party at 5 Seasons. A few celebratory drinks were most definitely in order.

Victory dance for No Kid Hungry!

Ok - for realz. I'll start real life blogging again. (I think I just jinxed myself.)
