Merry Christmas! We can't believe the holiday season has come and gone so fast. This year we spent Christmas Eve at a new restaurant, Woodberry Kitchen. It has a rustic ambiance with a "farm to table" style menu. We have been there twice before but Christmas Eve was the best experience to date. We spent the evening with our good friends: Jordan, Keith, Val and Kenny. By now, those of you in Indy must feel like you know them...we tend to do a lot of fun things with them that end up on the blog. Anyway, the meal was perfect and if you can't spend the evening with family, great friends are the next best thing!!!

Christmas Morning came upon us and we were so blessed by all of our family and friends. We had way more under the tree than we deserved. Thank you all so much for your gifts! Reggie and Sam also had toys, treats, and bones galore! We made breakfast (puff pancake with fruit and syrup...yumm), started up the new Keurig and relaxed for a few hours. Then our friends Gary and Sandy arrived to go out and deliver blankets to the homeless. This year, with the help of Gary and Sandy, we were able to pass out 18 blankets and $180 to those in need on Christmas. We hope to grow each year even if it's only by one blanket. This is one of our favorite things we do each year. The people we meet are inspiring and joyful. We enjoy being able to spread a little Christmas cheer and hopefully impact the lives of others living in Baltimore City. In short we had an amazing Christmas. Thank you to our Friends and Family for being so wonderful. To those of you we don't see everyday we miss you and hope to see you soon!
Peace and Love!

Taking a break from Catch Phrase

The Table

The dinner party gang got together this weekend to celebrate the holidays and Boy was it a party! Dinner was a huge success! We started with a creamy pumpkin soup that had a hint of bacon and cinnamon croutons. The second course was a Cape Cod Chopped Salad with bacon (you can't go wrong with bacon), apples, walnuts, arugula, blue cheese, and homemade citrus vinaigrette. The third course was a Trio of Mushrooms...a wonderful mix of portobello, shiitake, and oyster Mushrooms with cream and demi-glace over bread (thank you Gary and Sandy). The main course was pork tenderloin with teriyaki sauce, truffle mashed potatoes and an asparagus tart. Last but not least, the dessert was a white chocolate cheesecake with Merlot-soaked cranberries and a macadamia nut crust. Yummmmmmm!!!! We always have so much fun when we get together. It’s a healthy mix of food, wine, laughter, and...did I say wine??? Can't wait until next time!
