Before going in for rotator cuff surgery mid February , I wanted a big night with friends to fill up my fun-o-meter.
Rich had been gifted this giant, dbl magnum of one of his favorite wines and that was a good excuse to invite people over. There was no way we could’ve finished off that ginormous bottle on our own before it went stale on us.
And sharing a bottle of good wine with friends over dinner was just what I needed.
Our get together was on Valentine Eve, so I went all out on the reds, pinks, and roses. I used the great big, vintage wall paper hearts I’d made or hang from the ceiling at Good Juju as my tablecloth.
After setting the table, I realized that I didn’t have a center piece. So, I scattered dried roses (from a bouquet I’d gotten back at Christmas) down the middle of the table and gathered all of the votives I could find for a glow. The wine decanters acted as decor too, since the wine was the star of the show.
The weather was strangely perfect for grilling (in February?!) so we had some juicy steaks along with the wine. But the best part?
So much laughter. What a great night.
