Farewell Dinner

Saturday night, we had a few people over for drinks and apps before going to dinner to toast our friends Laura and Jeff farewell since they will soon be moving to Atlanta.

John experimented with a few signature cocktails for the fellas and I made some concoction with Prosecco for the gals. I blended some strawberries and honey, put that in the bottom of the champagne flute, added Prosecco and topped off with blueberries. It was my attempt at 4th of July in a glass and it turned out pretty good I think.

We walked to Lulu for dinner. Love living so close to such a good selection of restaurants that we can just head up the hill and choose from a handful of local places.

Not sure why "hill" is always spray painted on the road- isn't it obvious you are heading up a hill?

We had taken in a few drinks by the time we got there, and were probably a little louder and obnoxious than usual. John saw "pate" on the menu and started asking us what "pate" was only he pronounced it "pait" like rhyming with bait- he was joking of course. Anyway, Laura bet him to ask our server about the "pait" which of course John did. We could barely keep a straight face, but our poor waitress fell right into it, and kept calling it "pait" just for us. John came clean at the end of our meal and told her it was a bet, he knows it's not pronounced "pait" but it was still pretty funny.
