EggFest!!!

EggFest is an annual party I go to every May in Waldorf, MD. There are fests all around the country, but this is the one I go to every year. This is a great party where eggheads from all over the country get together, cook, eat, drink and hang out. It's a day where we can walk around and sample food that others are cooking, compare cooking techniques, exchange recipes and have an all around good time.

This year they decided on a pirate theme with prizes for the best costume, cooking galley and more. My mom, Sally and my friend Jackie, tied for best costume.

Here's my mom in all her pirate glory...
And here's Jackie and my mom's BFF Bonnie...
My step dad, Wess, made his ribs and even did a demo...
They were so yummy that I forgot to take a pic of the finished product!

Here's a pic of Sally and I enjoying the party together...
My lovely sister/Lovely assistant, Stacey, with her youngest daughter, Gena...
My oldest niece, Ana...
Gena, giving me the stink eye...
When the fest was over some people went home, but others had hotel rooms across the street. There are three hotels right next to each other, and every year we take over the parking lot for our after party. Most people took a quick break to shower and change, then the after party began!
Here's me and my mom again...
Wess was finally able to sit down and relax...
And everyone continued to eat, drink and be merry!
Next year I'll try to do a better job taking pics of the food, but for now, hopefully this will give you some idea of how we roll!
