This past week we had quite a bit of winter weather in the Hampton Roads area. The snow "storm" that came last Thursday only left 1-3 inches of powder, but it clogged up the highways and interstates for hours. My regular one-hour, 40-mile commute turned into a 3-hour saga. But when I got home, our neighborhood sure looked beautiful all covered in white.
On Saturday night, Topher & I went had dinner with a bunch of our friends to celebrate one of the guys' birthday.
Aren't we a festive-looking bunch? Even the lampshades got in on the color scheme. :)
What We Ate:
- tomato, mozzarella, basil leaf, & balsamic vinegar - I could have eaten 10 of these
- lobster risotto - creamy & delicious
- green beans with roasted walnuts & goat cheese - if this is the way I'd had green beans as a kid, there's no way I'd dislike them!
- steak with chimichurri sauce
- for dessert: chocolate swirl cheesecake
There's nothing better than sharing meals during the holidays, and I'm so thankful for our friends & their amazing skills in the kitchen!
