"The kids are back in school, vacation
is over and you are tired of cooking meals again? Are you ready for a
vacation? How about a night in Italy... brought to your house? Two
lovely ladies, Liz & Stacey, will come to your house, prepare and
serve dinner for a party of up to six. We will bring the food -
preparing as much as we can prior to our arrival. The menu will be
a custom created Italian meal including… appetizer, entree, salad and of
course, dolce.. the dessert! All you need to do is invite your
guests and provide them with something to drink! If you are the
winner we will work out a date and menu that works for you and the
chefs! On a side note, neither Stacey or Liz are professional
chefs or Italian, but our food will sure convince you otherwise!" valued
