Here is a quick recap of our weekend (I’ll be sharing more later in the week). We had some friends of ours in town from Austin and we made the most of the few days we had. It was really fun and now it’s back to our regular schedules. Boo.
-Theo chocolate tour
-Lunch at the Columbia tower (what a view!)
-Trying another new hairstyle
-Wine tasting
-Funny faces
-A little coffee (in my case chai latte) break
I mentioned the other day that my shop celebrated it’s 2nd anniversary. I planned a little happy hour with Walker and 2 of my friends here in the city. We went to Poco Wine and Spirits (a first for all 4 of us). We shared a bottle of wine and just relaxed while laughing and enjoying each others company. It was very low key and intimate gatherings are my favorite so it was perfect. Here’s to making sure year 3 is even better yet!
(Also sorry about these photos-we were having a lighting issue-so it goes)
Sometimes I like to make dinner feel extra special. When I started making this meal I didn’t intend on it being “fancy” but somewhere along the way I decided it should be. I chose to present it in 4 courses-all being modest sizes (assuring Walker that after the first 3 courses he could have more before the 4th course-dessert-was served).
Course 1: Mixed green salad with beets and tahini lemon dressing.
Course 2: Roasted potatoes and sunchokes.
Course 3: Curried butternut squash soup with toasted homemade bread.
Course 4 (dessert): Tea with pepparkakar cookies (recipe in this post here).
What would you make if you were serving a “fancy” dinner?
