Food with Friends

With just a few weeks left in 2010, we finally had a couple of weekends at home. So, we took advantage and had some fun times with friends and food (2 of my favorite things!!).

First, we went on a food tour with our buddy, Beth. One of the big surprises for us when we moved back to NC was the amazing food scene that has sprung up here. Lots of amazing restaurants, organic and local ingredients - its even gotten press coverage in the NY Times and Bon Appetit. So, when Beth told us about a company that runs food tours, we were totally in! Basically, a tour guide walks you around town (in this case, Chapel Hill), gives you information about the town and the restaurants and you do tastings at a handful of restaurants. SUPER fun (and tasty!). Can't wait to do all the other food tours that they offer!



Then we had a fun progressive dinner party with our neighbors. Each course was at a different house and we would walk from one to another - enjoying great food and lots of drinks along the way! We hosted the last course - a smorgasbord of dessert fondue capped off by a (slightly disorganized) group pic. Such a fun night!
