though I did enjoy their signs
ALCOHOL bc no great story ever started
with a SALAD….

But everyone was having FUN.
Lots of people were there, it was a family affair!

After FREE WILL madness we went to the BLUE DOG.

so he would know I was there to visit him.

11/17/14 wine tasting, Colombe restaurant, Dani, Mongolian Beef

11/17/14

had to go to WORK today.
Usually Monday’s are a WORK from HOME day.
But today we had to go into the office.

We are all animal lovers so our
Welcome Mat at work is apropos!

learning about new wines

me & Aaron from Australia!

that wine on the right:
THE SCRIBBLER, was quite amazing…..

Cab/shiraz blend…

afterwards we had lunch at one of our accounts
LA COLOMBE

http://www.lacolombe.com/cafes?city=1

really cool place

IN OUR CAFES, FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE COFFEE

AND THE CUSTOMER ARE THE PRIMARY FOCUS.

Enter any La Colombe cafe and one immediately notices what

is missing – the merchandising and clutter of CDs, coffee

mugs, home coffee machines and lunch foods; all items that

distract from the coffee experience and slow quality service.

they distill their own RUM

my boss Joe with Adrian who is the manager

sister Pat had a visit with Dani Rae while
I was at work…..

made this for dinner:

Mongolian Beef

what it is SUPPOSED to look like

Here is the recipe, it was DELICIOUS!

http://wp.me/p3iSW4-5s

I need more practice.
Did you know COOKING takes PRACTICE???

paired it with SAKE.
it was PERFECT!
