A Gathering of Friends
This past Friday night several of us got together for an impromptu gathering. It is always fun to see my friends, especially when it involves food, wine and other beverages. In all, we consumed 6 bottles of wine (3 Sangria, 1 Cab, 1 Pinot, and a White wine - something sweet). There was baked brie (recipe below), guacamole dip (I will try to get recipe from Kimi - it was yummy - and post later this week), various chocolates, chips and other store bought dips. After eating way too much we watched the movie "Zohan" funny in a very silly way - most liked it - however - some did not get the humor.
Travis' Baked Brie
1 round or slice of brie (however - the rounds work better if you are going to bake them)
1 cup of walnuts - then chop them up fairly fine
1 cup of honey - I buy local from Honeybee Harvest
1 shot glass of brandy
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Place brie round in the middle of an oven safe baking dish. Spread chopped walnuts on top - cover with honey and then sprinkle the brandy over the honey and walnuts. Bake in oven until the center of the brie is 85 degrees. Eat with fresh whole grain bread or whole grain crackers.
Enjoy!

Sunday Morning at Caribou Coffee
I think this will start to be a New Year's Tradition.
Sunday morning at Caribou Coffee (Friendly Center). It is interesting to just sit and watch people coming in. Singles, couples, friends meeting for a morning cup and then the families (now I could do without the screaming kids - LOL).
This time of year is so amazing. Now, granted I dislike the winter more and more the older I get - however - it is still an awesome time of year. The sky seems to be more clear - if you saw the moon last night it looked like you could reach up and touch it. And, the food - this is the best time of year for food, soups, stews and other hardy foods that you would not normally cook in the summer time. I just prepared two wonderful stews a week ago - and will start posting some recipes this week. Now that the holidays are past - I promise to be better about posts this year.
If any of you have awesome winter recipes please share as well.
Enjoy!!

NC Restaurants and Bars - SMOKE FREE TODAY!
Smoke-Free
TODAY!!
After all the hard work by elected officials and advocates from across the state to pass HB 2.
Today is the day NORTH CAROLINA RESTAURANTS AND BARS BECOME SMOKE-FREE!!
Today, we make history in our tobacco-producing state and join 25 other states that have enacted smoke-free restaurants and bars legislation.
Today, 395,000 restaurant and bar workers will go to work knowing that their hearts and lungs will be protected from the dangerous health effects of secondhand smoke and millions more North Carolinians are now protected from short-term exposure when spending time in restaurants and bars.
Today, local communities now have authority to pass local ordinances restricting smoking in other indoor, public places to further protect additional workers and visitors from the dangers of secondhand smoke.
Today is a day to celebrate!
Take this opportunity to enjoy your favorite venue that is now smoke-free. Remember to tell the owner that you are happy to have smoke-free air to breathe. Remember to thank your state representative and senator for their support of this new law.
As you circulate in your community, you and others may have questions about the new law. You are encouraged you to visit www.smokefree.nc.gov for much more detailed information about the new law.This new website was created by the state health department to address questions about the law. In addition, there is a section of the website which will allow you to report a violation of the smoke-free law or send a thank you note to a restaurant or bar. This website also contains tools for businesses.
You may also access the NC Alliance for Health website for additional information about the smoke-free law, such as talking points and sample letters to the editor.
