Good Morning Darlings!

Eek, eek and more eek! I cannot wait for Sunday so I can see what’s going on with Rick, Shane, Laurie and the rest of the post apocalyptic gang on The Walking Dead.

There are two hotspots in town set up for viewing.

Hot Spot Number One!

The Haggis Chronicles

Good Morning Darlings!

When our sweet friend, Stephanie, asked Eric and I to join her Cookbookery Club back in December, we were thrilled. The premise – choose a cookbook and allow everyone to prepare a dish, then get together and chow down.

That sounds perfect for us! Of course we would love to join!

This month was very exciting!

Super Bowl Decorations

Good Morning Darlings!

I am Super Bowl obsessed. We are throwing a small party at the house and I can’t wait to have everyone there, hollering at the television and eating and drinking inordinate amounts of food and beer. And cocktails.

Time to start thinking about the decor. Hmmm…what to do?

Come on in for decorating ideas.

I Have A Secret

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

Secrets are the most fun. Well, when they are happy secrets. Like birthday surprises, raindrops on roses and brown paper packages tied up with string. Some of my favorite things!

My friends at Black Tie Barbecue keep the most fun secrets ever!

Wanna hear a secret?

Oysterfest!

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Good Morning Darlings!

I just got this notice from my sweet friend Marsha and cannot wait to go! Usually I am very lazy about reading press releases (okay, about everything…)but this totally caught my eye.

Oysters. Beer. The Four Seasons, y’all. If you wear a collar and don’t show up in flip flops, I bet they will serve you.

I’m going. Eric does not share my love of oysters. Who’s going with me?

Marsha, I need the deets!

Our good friend Sarah showed up this past Sunday night bearing a Lemon Chess Pie.

Lets talk pie…

New Year’s Eve in My Neighborhood

Good Morning Darlings!

Welcome to 2012 – how exciting!

How did I spend the holiday?

Merry Christmas Darlings!

Good Morning 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
