Last night we had our first feast under the vine at K&V’s house. It was in honor of M&M’s stop over in Long Beach during their Pie In the Sky Part II road-trip. You can read all about M&M’s adventures at M&M’s incremental updates (see link in blogroll).

It was a wonderful night of good food, great friends and dogs. K&V once again orchestrated a killer evening of food. Everyone commented on my new look. The dogs were on their best behavior sniffing around for a bite of steak or lick of custard. Ahh….what a great life I’m living. I want to keep it.

For the foodies in the loop here is our menu followed by some snaps of us enjoying the time and space convergence of our lives. Love to all and Happy Trails M&M!
