Any last minute takers on the DFW party next weekend? We are trying to finalize the details.

I'll be there! It looks like it might just be 4 of us...

austinmommy3 · #3 July 7th, 2011, 05:51 PM

I'll be there, gotta figure out cars....my Land Rover keeled over and it's going to take a while to get parts and get them installed. I have a loaner from the dealership, but don't want to really drive it far off!

zkat · #4 July 7th, 2011, 07:21 PM

I make an awesome gluten free angel food cake! Strawberry shortcake is on the menu!

Don't forget Austin Mommy + ?

It will be me, SO and little dude. DS1 was coming, but his dad is being deployed and is coming in town that weekend and Abbi is already off visiting dad.

Do we need a list of things for people to bring?

Oh and I am excited about the gluten free angel food cake, since I am new to the gluten free business.

Since you all are gonna be in texas, someone needs to make Texas Sheet Cake! (or as Texans call it - chocolate cake! lol!)

zkat · #9 July 8th, 2011, 10:54 AM

I have never heard it called a Texas Sheet Cake, but I can make a mean chocolate cake. My great, great grandmother taught me a secret ingredient for all things chocolate that makes it so much better.

razzledobe · #10 July 8th, 2011, 11:25 AM

i heart chocolate!! lol... yes! ok so austinmommy +SO and LO.... that makes 10 grownups and 5 BABIES!!! YAY!!!

So excited

Dont bring anything like cups plates etc... got all that covered. You'll have enough just packing for your LO's. Mi Cocina looks to be on the menu. What sort of Gluten Free stuff do they offer because I couldnt tell from looking at the Menu today...?

austinmommy3 · #11 July 8th, 2011, 02:10 PM

A Texan co-worker calls it Buttermilk Cake, i think? the frosting has like a pound of powdered sugar. It's almost like a brownie. When you make the fosting, you pour it on warm and let it cool on the cake. it's SO freaking good! Darnnit. now I want some...

razzledobe · #13 July 8th, 2011, 02:35 PM

I'll send those of you coming the addy... yeah we do need to figure out the time don't we? Suggestions?

MrsBauhaus · #14 July 8th, 2011, 02:37 PM

LOL! I didn't pay attention, that is funny.

As far as times, we can do what ever since we are driving in and are going to grab a hotel, guess I should book one!

MrsBauhaus · #16 July 8th, 2011, 05:29 PM

How about late afternoon. And then we can do dinner, maybe if you arent tired of me??? 4 or so would give us out of towers time to check in, and get to the pool. What do you guys think?

Also, I'm booking a place tonight. I'll let you know where, in case we happen to stay together. Can't wait. 7 more days. 7 more days. 7 more days, hey hey hey hey.

zkat · #17 July 8th, 2011, 07:28 PM

I do have a great recipe for buttermilk cake. Yummy. Now I can't decide buttermilk cake or strawberry shortcake - you guys pick!

As far as mi Cocina - we could order mixed fajitas rice and beans with sides of guac, chips and salsa. Just as for corn and flour tortillas wrapped separate. I am fairly certain they have -cater menu

I know we won't do adult beverages at pool, but what about afterwards-is flower mound dry?

Let me know!! We would be down for dinner.

EDIT ~ Mrs. B - sent you a PM, we got a screaming deal at a Hilton that has rooms marked down that weekend because of a wedding cancellation!

Smashie · #19 July 9th, 2011, 07:45 AM

I so wish I could join you gals! Dallas is only 6 hours away. I'm not sure I could convince DH that we need to drive all that way to meet folks from online, though. He doesn't know how cool y'all are.
