Good Morning Darlings!
I have been writing furiously lately. Yes, for the blog, but also for my new venture.
What am I up to?

I love coconuts. Coconut shrimp, pina coladas at the beach and coconut ice cream.
But what is my most favorite coconut dish?

We have a winner of the Screen Candy – it’s Elizabeth Beasley!
Love the Screen Candy! Stick em anywhere!
I loved Elizabeth’s idea of using these to identify your lunch in the office fridge. Brilliant!
Elizabeth, please send me your mailing address to: patti@anatomyofadinnerparty.com and I will pop your Screen Candy in the mail immediately.
Enjoy!
xoxo, Patti

Good Morning Darlings!
Over 10 years ago, Eric and I said “I do” and then jetted off to honeymoon in Italy.
Ahh, Italy.
What could stir those memories again?

My friend Kate, in NYC, always has the latest, interesting news.
Apparently, there is a festival going down in California today.
What’s happening in the Golden State today?

What’s with the post title today? Wasn’t Father’s Day last Sunday?
Am I just a day late and a dollar short?

I am blessed with ridiculously good fortune. Or maybe it’s because of my pollyanna attitude that I see my life through rose colored glasses. Either way. Amazing experiences happen to me a lot.
One of those times happened last week in an invitation from Miss Tinsley to attend a Tinsley Tasting at Antico Pizza .
But this was not a pizza dinner. Oh no. So much more.
What happened that afternoon at Antico?
