Fine friends, fine wine, & fine food

We drove to Spaniard's Bay this weekend to to spend a night with good friends, Diane and Jerry.  Diane is our long-time friend, Sharon's older sister....and it is no coincidence that Sharon and Dave were in Spaniard's Bay this weekend as well.  It is a trip that we have all been planning and looking forward to for a long time.

We arrived around 3:30, as fluffy big snowflakes floated to the ground.  Diane & Jerry had everything under control for a wonderful evening and some great food.

Jerry set up three chickens on the rotisserie..........





...scooped out some plump, juicy hothouse tomatoes......







 

then Diane stuffed them with an amazing bread, bacon and smoked gouda combination, and set them aside to bake later.......

Could it get any better??
Sipping great wine and feasting on chicken.......
 

Stuffed baked tomatoes.........

and roasted potatoes.....

 Yuuummmmyy!!!

Then, after all that....yes.......there was more.............................

 The smell of the melted milk chocolate was fabulous........ 

as we all chatted, laughed and ate lots of fresh fruit......

 dipped in delicious, warm chocolate
