I know people are from all over the world and everyone has different weekend things to do, but many of them involve food, or gatherings with food. Here in the states, especially now that temps are getting warmer, the BBQs tend to start ramping up. Here in sunny Los Angeles we can pretty much BBQ year round...golf and go to the beach too. So I am wondering if anyone other parts of the world, etc. have food cultural things that happen seasonally and if you are taking part in any of them this weekend. Next weekend we have Memorial Day and that is usually an excuse to BBQ something large, or at least lots of things. I'm planning a whole class on BBQ because it's my first love, so as we get closer to summer here, you can expect lots of ramp up and pictures over in the 'zone'.

So, here is an idea I was thinking. Thanks to this community I have like 9 members since 24 hours ago. Here is my idea to drive up engagement outside of the norms...or maybe this is a norm and I'm just a n00b. Have a 1-week challenge to hit Level 5, and if you do you get free Premium. Thoughts? Is 5 too high a mark in 1 week, but then it's also elitist, so work hard and get rewarded.

I can't remember my third "pro" call...wasn't there 3 if we did the thing? How can I find out?

I just jumped off a 1:1 call with @Steven Bornstein, and he's great! He's one of us, someone who just want's to give value and figure out the rest later. Steven is a dad who knows exactly what it feels like to hit 5pm on a weeknight with no plan, hungry kids, and the sinking feeling that you're about to cave and order something you'll feel guilty about tomorrow. He's been there. He figured it out. And now he's built a whole community to help other dads do the same. It's called Cooking Comfort Zone 🍳 And it's for any parent, but especially dads who want to stop surviving the 5pm scramble and actually start putting real meals on the table without losing their mind in the process. In his own words... 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁. 𝗪𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘅 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁. Inside, Steven teaches his Speed-Batch cooking system... a practical, no-faff approach to meal planning that puts your kitchen on autopilot and cuts your evening stress in half. In just 14 days. No chef skills required. No hours in the kitchen. Just a simple system that means you stop dreading dinner and start actually enjoying those evening moments with your kids. And our favourite bit? 👇 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲. 🎉 Steven has set up the most brilliant little party! Great food, great vibes, great content, but he's the first to admit he's not the best at sending out the invites. He'd love to welcome 30 new members in the next 30 days. That's literally just one a day. One person, every day, who needs what he's built.

You might just save their Tuesday night. 😄

Look at that power number!
