bugey-cerdon and montinore estate... courtesy of kerstin's bro-in-law - thanks matt!!

la salette and vin-gris... part of 'the club'

lots to learn...

• an update to kerstin's man map... we're down to two!
• how to apply makeup when drunk... hey, wine club isn't always at the end of the day!
• steamy snipits from fifty shades of grey
• astrological signs... kersin is definitely an aquarius.

I'm not sure what's gotten into us, but once again we have three bottles of wine left.  That's both safe (we're down two dwellers - one with a bump and one who's been MIA for a few weeks, but will be back soon!) and scary (we're due for a large gathering soon).  You've been warned.

cheers!

Bangs, Babies, and Bling

when : 05.07.12
where : urban table, prairie village

who : 5 out of the 6 dwellers (teri was up to her elbows in packing boxes!)

kerstin (and her man map), kate, lindsay

what : a delicious red (elements) and a tasty white (hugl)

It may have been a Monday (which is usually a Cellar Dwellers no-no), but Monday is half-price wine night at Urban Table.  It's like our homeland.  Besides, we had a lot to celebrate!  Lindsay got bangs, which is huge (and so cute!), and also ENGAGED, which is way bigger (and really freakin' awesome!) and Kate's baby bump is starting to show.  All at once now, "awwwwww".  :)

girly chit chat from the evening...

• babies or moustaches... weighing the benefits of birth control.
• unlike January Jones, 4 out of 5 dwellers would prefer to consume placenta... pills.
• the dentist... how long is too long between visits?
• anti-aging moisturizers... to spend $8 or $80?
• kerstin's man map... to be continued.

cheers!

Oh Baby!

A beautiful march night on Kerstin's back patio..... 6 winos...only 5 wine glasses served........

 Yep, Kate shared the exciting news that shes got a lil bun in the oven!! Hootie hoo!

cheers to the first wine club of 2012 spent outdoors.....

The topic of convo this evening was as tasty and colorful as the food. We discussed everything from babies (Kate is due this October!), Lindsay's toastmaster speech, Kerstin and Taylor's boy updates, Teri getting back in action at work, Lexie's house projects- and of course........Vino.

the menu tonight night was groovin'. We all brought our fresh inspired A game.

 

Spinach garlic cheese pizza, tomato bruschetta, avocado dip & pitas, awesome green salad, and a papaya avocado salad that blew my mind. It all set the tone for a healthy spring feast!

 
Teri made these awesome little cheesecakes too.....it was too dark out at that point to get a photo. Plus, they got eaten pretty quickly. MMM....

Monday Night with my Drinking Buddies

Dwelling on a Monday night was not our best idea we've ever had, but it sure was a goooood time (we missed you Katetrina)!!  We had three bottles from our February club, plus two bottles from January (which were really from December!!) when we got kicked out of Spin and couldn't finish them-for a total of five. That was five bottles for a Monday night. Did I mention it was a Monday? The plan was to just have a few and see how we felt, but we accidently drank them all. They were soo delicious.

When: 2.27.12 (a Monday night)
Where: Casa de Lindsay
Who: 5 out of the 6 Dwellers (Katetrina was under the weather)

What:


The Drinks

• Dolcetto d Alba Massolino
• Luccarelli Salice Salentino
• Domaine de Coussergues Viognier
• Domaine de Coussergues Pinot Noir
• Domaine de Coussergues Cabernet Franc

The Eats

• Beet and avocado salad
• Roasted bell pepper salsa
• Martini dip w/ crackers
• Puff pastry fig and brie yummies
• Chocolate Mocha cheesecake 

Table Talk on Monday Night:

• Whores who have gone west
• Drinking buddies and other stupid things that men say
• Upcoming vacays for the dwellars
• Have you ever bleached.....
• Waxings and pinky promises
• and more Monday night rants :)

So fun-can't wait to see what March brings (hopefully some more of those puff pastry bites, Lex!!)

It took a year and a half...
