Fairy-tale Wonderland








Eating is even more of an activity when done in the company of amazing people.  Last night, we threw a party for my best friend's 25th birthday.  Brie, manchego, red pepper jelly.  Butternut squash lasagna.  Homemade meatballs with fresh tomato sauce. Brussel sprouts with bacon. Chopped salad with blue cheese, pine nuts, onion, and cranberries. Red velvet Mary Poppins Cake with vanilla bean ice cream.  Lots and lots of Champaign. Too much.  Pink, orange, and red tones filled the room and hand blown votives provided a warm environment for a special night that will never be forgotten.  Cheers to you Mary!
