i think i will *mostly* let the photos speak for themselves, but i will definitely list our delicious menu! (and yes, it included pez...)
menu :
bellini's + wine
prosciutto-wrapped greens w/ a dressing
lamb coconut curry over rice
spicy daal w/ naan
roasted vegetables
handmade fried fishcakes
*various sauces + chutneys were passed*
carrot cake
(the ramekin contained a little dairy-free version that robin made for me and benj - so sweet of her and delicious, oh my gosh delicious!)
cola, raspberry-lemon, + strawberry PEZ
(because why not? and gabrielle visited the Pez Factory in Orange, CT, haha!)
. . . c o l o r e d p e n c i l e a r r i n g s . . .
matboard lovingly cut and punched in pairs
gina's creation begins
gabrielle's whole process is a work of art
robin's faces were showstoppers
my photo does not do justice of jessica's ombre work
(see finished photos at bottom)
joan's landscape on one side / faces on the other...i love seeing the inspiration next to the work
denise's beautiful pair were inspired by venetian glass
. . .
. . .
and here they are!!!
i am newly addicted
(see what i mean about robin's faces?!)
another wildly successful wine art wednesday
a big thank you to rita for teaching the workshop and preparing all of the materials - it was a blast - and i'm terribly sorry about speaking over you that time, haha, what was going on?! and also to donna for hosting, all of the chefs and you girls for being you girls...i love you!
and in the conversation that i *can* repeat :
- check out quarterly.co because jessi is subscribed to cool hunting (and their website here) and just received an awesome bag in their latest shipment. donna has just subscribed to "food + home" and we are all excitedly waiting for their first shipment.
- and i know i missed a bunch of great conversation when i brought benj home for grandpa to babysit him, but maybe you girls can remind me in the comments.
i especially loved all of the new ideas flying around for what to do next. we will never be at a loss for what to do and that makes me happier than anything else.
oh wine art, how i have missed you. it was great to be back!
xoxo,
alex
