Patio Garden

I am growing a little garden on my patio in Georgetown. Condo living does not stop me! Check it out! I already have tomatoes growing. I hope the peppers, zucchini and squash also grow. I planted them in long big pots that I hope will result in a lovely veggie garden. The herbs are in full bloom as well - but those are easy. Happy Summer!

Summer For Blogging

I have decided that Summer 2012 will be the summer for blogging! Sorry for my absence. I got married (and man does planning a wedding take over your life)...And since then enjoying married life and been crazy throwing my life into PRZman.com. But I have been ignoring my blog, cooking and passion for the world of eating. Cheers! Ill meet you at the table this summer!

Happy Birthday Trent

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRENT!

Trent loves Ice Cream cake! We got one from Dairy Queen. Enjoy! Cheers to being 27! I look forward to many more birthdays and celebrations to come.

Cooking For PRZman

Perk of my job - I can develop recipes and shoot them when we are in between shoots and low on recipe content. Check out my Shrimp and Grits and Waffles! HUGE hit in the PRZ office.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Red Truck Bakery sent me a cake for Saint Patrick's Day to feature on PRZman.com. (Which also happens to be near my bday - so Happy Birthday to me!) Check out the post HERE.

Try Red Truck Bakery’s Irish chocolate cakes with Guinness Stout. It is the ultimate cake for St. Paddy’s Day. A true to-die-for cake. A rich chocolate ring cake, made with Guinness Stout and topped with a Bailey’s Irish Cream frosting. Need we say more? For only $22 plus $10.60 for shipping – you will not be disappointed.

Happy Birthday John!

For John's 30th - we went to the Greenbrier. We had a fabulous time with some good friends and WONDERFUL food. Nothing like eating dinner in an old southern Main Dining Hall. The Dining Hall was opened in 1913. During World War II, the resort was used as an Army hospital and the Colonnade Dining Room became the mess hall for enlisted men while the Georgian Dining Room was for officers. - I love the history of this place. Makes it really special to visit.

We had a four-course meal followed by a night in the Casino. Trent won a little money. I lost - gambling is not my thing. I wish I took pictures of my meal, because it was out of this world. All I got was John and his Birthday Cake.

I had the Chicken Liver Parfait - Vanilla Citrus Confit, Port Wine Reduction Endive Salad, Toasted Brioche followed by a Caesar Salad. Then for the main course I had USDA Prime Filet Mignon -
Black Pepper Polenta Fries, “Broccoli”, Red Wine Onion Marmalade and Crispy Radishes and Merchant Du Vin Sauce. For dessert Trent and I split a piece of cake.

Merry Christmas!

Nothing is more exciting then watching a child on Christmas Morning. We spent Christmas at my parents house this year (I need to do a better job of taking pictures of Trent and me).

But Griggs - I loved spending Christmas with you this year! Cheers to many more to come....

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we spent Thanksgiving on the Eastern Shore with Trent's family and friends. What a wonderful way to spend our holiday! Loved our roasted oysters. Such a great treat. I am Thankful for our first Thanksgiving together as a married couple. (Now why I didnt take a picture of us is beyond me- but I did manage to take one of the Turkey!).  Happy Thanksgiving! From my table to yours - I hope you had a wonderful holiday.

OITF Comes To DC

Leah allowed me to bring Trent to an OITF dinner for him to experience a bit of my life before we got married. I started this blog because of my adventures with OITF. I traveled across the country with them and put on farm dinners to teach people about where their food comes from.

It's always exciting when they come back to town and I can help out - but this year I was able to sit down and enjoy a meal. THANKS LEAH!

We went to Arcadia Farms at Woodlawn in Alexandria, VA. (Once a part of George Washington’s farms at Mount Vernon)

We had a wonderful meal prepared by Kyle Bailey & Tiffany MacIsaac - From Birch & Barley. This was a beer dinner, which we both really enjoyed trying new beers.

We look forward to the 2012 OITF dinners.
