Musings on wine, food, recipes, restaurants, and other topics
Hubby and I have been feelin’ a little rebellious as of late and have actually gone out on *gasp!* Monday nights! Two Mondays ago, we went to the four-year birthday celebration for Feast in Decatur. This has to be one of my favorite restaurants in all of Atlanta, and definitely in our little corner of …
I almost got my wish for Pacific Northwest weather last night. A small black cloud blew over Decatur but didn’t stick around long enough to do much. Oh, well. Thanks to all of you who checked in on Twitter to play the drinking game. I tried to make it easy for you. The wines: 2006 …
