A lovely send off...

Last night was Dana's last night in town for awhile. Rucchi will also be taking off to Champagne, IL for a few months at some point to be with Dana and to do something entirely new. Fun! Last night, a group of us got together to share some great food and conversation at the Bearded Frog in Shelburne, Vermont. They sat us at the table right in front of the fireplace-not a bad way to begin. I started with a Bleu Martini, complete with bleu cheese stuffed green olives as a garnish! I moved on to the Waldorf Salad, (my personal favorite) and then the Chicken Statler filled with ham and melted brie. Oh my. Finally, we shared this little number below for dessert: Dark Chocolate Sorbet, Mocha Earl Grey Sorbet and Citrus Sorbet. It was just the right amount for 6 of us after a large meal. Rucchi managed to survive his bite of sorbet that may have had some sort of nut remnants on it-despite his allergy. Victory!
It was so good to see everyone, smiling (with the exception of a shoulder punch here and there) and sharing the day's news. There was talk of the life that was saved yesterday by someone at the table, (Heimlich Maneuver!), the friend in the process of getting some information patented for work, promotions, new homes, new creative ideas and more. Thanks everyone for a great night. Let's do it again soon!
