May Meeting: a Romantic Night by the Fire

Four hookers in a Prius made their way to Altoona last night for some hooking near the campfire at Chez Cassandra. It was our first jaunt in Mame's new wheels and we were all taken with the über-high-tech gadgets and the roomy and smooth ride via the new highway. 

On arrival, we were all searching for Mugsy, Cassandra's new pup. Gene was tending the fire but Mugsy and Cassandra were nowhere in sight. Turns out Mugsy was on his walk and soon enough we saw him prancing down the alley on his way to see us. 

Mugsy, like any spoiled rockstar, had several costume changes throughout the evening. He was a huge hit with the hookers and we decided that he needs to have a recurring guest role at future hooker events. He has a hard, street-wise demeanor about him, but is also very calm and self-assured. He knows you like him and he isn't about to turn down food offerings in exchange for his good looks. 

Mame and I got a row or two done on our afghans just to say that we actually hooked. Most of us were just content to eat mountain pies and enjoy the evening's spring air and the tickling flames of the fire. Jackie debuted her red, white, and blue felted purse. We were all *highly* impressed with how it turned out and can't wait to see how she ends up doing the handles.

It wouldn't be a hooker meeting without sensational food, and the campfire classics really hit the spot last night. Cassandra had all the fixins for mountain pies of the pizza and dessert variety. She also had stuff for s'mores. Jackie made some excellent samosa-like pastries that were like fishballs with dough on the outside. Needless to say I could have eaten 10 of them. Amy supplied refreshing cold beverages in a cooler and Trish made one of her famous Big Ole Salads® with homemade dressing.

Much love out to the hookers who couldn't make it! 

Mugsy-fan for life,
Hooker Tara

May Meeting this Wednesday

Just a gentle reminder about our May meeting, this coming Wednesday at Cassandra's house. If weather permits, we'll making mountain pies outside on the fire.
