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

Good Morning Darlings!
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?

Just when you thought it was time to let your guard down…here’s a list of manners for giving/attending a bbq. Anything here that we’ve forgotten?

Good Morning Darlings!
Campo Viejo recently contacted me to ask if I would like to participate in a wine tasting. Why, of course I would!
Last night they answered questions in real time while we sipped and ate. Melanie made a perfect roast chicken with roasted potatoes and scrumptious collard greens.
How did they pair?
Join our dinner party!

Good Morning Darlings!
Oh, you know how we are here in the south. We have to make sure everyone is fed. And fed well.
One night not so long ago, we had our dear friend, Johnny P. over for supper. I made meatloaf. To feed about 20. You never know how hungry men will be. Or who might stop by.
Did we eat it all?

Good Morning Darlings!
Hope you had a perfect weekend. Ours was fabulous. Eric & I saw Yacht Rock on Friday Night at Park Tavern under the stars, ate at Tantra Saturday night (more on that later) and lazed about all day Sunday watching a Party Down marathon.
Oh, I guess you are tuning in to see the answer to Friday’s quiz?
Lets get on with it.
What was that?

I have so many exciting things to share with you, but it must wait until next week.
Until then…
