Good Morning Darlings!
Can you believe it’s almost Christmas? Holy cow!
We are hosting a tiny dessert and cocktail party late Christmas night. Seems like a good time. Everyone will be done with family celebrations and be ready to unwind.

Season’s Musings
Friday, December 21st, 2012Whynatte & Jailhouse
Wednesday, November 28th, 2012Good Morning Darlings!
Is your tree up? Ours is. SO excited. See, we usually give these massive parties that leave no room for a tree.
This year is different. No massive Black Tie party. Small Christmas dinner party.
But anyhoo, this is about putting up the tree. Well, not exactly, but a drink to put your tree up by.
It’s this lovely little concoction that takes Jailhouse Brewing’s Jailhouse Stout and mixes it with Whynatte.
Have you not heard of these treats? They both started in Atlanta, but I’m pretty sure you can get them anywhere. Jailhouse Brewing is creating awesome crafted beers and Whynatte is the yummiest coffee/latte/caffeine drink on the planet. Serious.
So here’s the complicated recipe:
Pour some Whynatte in a glass.
Top with Jailhouse Stout.
Drink.
Beer floats for Adults! Yum!
And you know, drink responsibly and all that. A designated driver is a beloved driver. Buy him/her a big present for getting you home safe.

What To Cook For New Year’s
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011Good Morning Darlings!
I am plum full up from the weekend. Scores of tamales, Frangelico cake, cheese dip, guacamole, salsa, enchiladas, more chips. And a marathon of Being Human yesterday on the couch. Dang, that show is good.
Merry Christmas Darlings!

Merry Christmas to you all. I hope Santa was very good to you. He is gifting me with the quietest morning so far, with just a light rain falling on the roof.
Last night Eric and I continued our tradition of Christmas Eve sushi at Gekko, where we dressed up and gorged on rolls, sushi and sashimi. It was divine. But first we made a stop at Green’s, where we stocked up on bubbly and beer for tonight’s dinner. It’s a small affair this year, but we are so grateful to be able to share our home with friends.
Hope you receive lots of festive aprons!
My menu is super simple and I think it would really translate well for a New Year’s Eve feast. I will share the details with you on Tuesday.
Love to you all.
xoxo, Patti
