Humble Provisions recap
Humble Provisions
February 25, 2017
Humble Provisions was a celebration of the end of Winter with a seasonal, comforting meal sitting close to a crackling fire. Even though there was a chill in the air we were warmed by a meal with familiar flavors and by the company of our guests who shared in a unique experience.
This was a special dinner for me because it was held at my home. I always wanted to host a dinner in our side yard under three trees where I sit with my dog everyday. This was our third Table by Destination dinner and this, so far, has been my favorite destination.
A special thank you to Angela, Laura and Steve for helping to make this evening a success and to all of our guests, we love you!
