Aside from the fabulous company I had for dinner at Trocadero followed by my kind of a low-key night out with the favorites at Hi-Hat Lounge, here are some pictures from my last weekend in WI:
I went over to my friend Maggie’s to help her prep for her new supper club, “Nights of Juniper.”
My little nephew Julian came along for the fun. Chewing on a piece of baguette he kept asking Mags, “Hey, why is your bread hard?” pointing out the signature crustiness of the bread. (:
I made apple tart to bring over to my boyfriend’s parents’ for a going-away dinner they threw for me.
The recipe was adapted from Pioneer Woman’s where I added cinnamon and nutmeg with less brown sugar. I had a ton of apples left over too! Good for snacking.
My first time using store-bought puff pastry! It was so much fun!
Then Rosa (my boyfriend’s mom) made an awesome dinner which included marinated grilled beef tenderloin with sautéed mushrooms and onion, her signature Italian salad, roasted peppers,
this AMAZING tortellini pasta salad,
and my favorite of the meal: warm olive bread dipped in this Israeli olive oil dipping concoction!
As far as my Colorado life, my puppy and I are still getting slowly adjusted. First day of work today, and moving into a cozy little studio on the 1st! More posts to come, but here’s a sneak peek for what is to come! The morning view out the window from my friend’s where I am staying!
