Febgiving
Friday, February 26, 2010 at 7:22PM I feel so fortunate to have amazing foodie friends. So amazing, in fact that my friends Jim and Becca invented a new food holiday to get us through the drab darkness of winter in Minnesota. They've called it Febgiving and, quite simply, there was food. You know I'm a sucker for a dinner party, but I wasn't feeling up to many photographs as I had spent a good portion of the day at the Food and Wine Experience, which after a few hours would leave anyone feeling a bit, we'll say, "tired". So my apologies go out to all of the other 17 people of whom I did NOT take pictures, not to mention the food. So in the spirit of my motto for that day: I blame the wine!
Of course I need a roasting oven I can keep in the living room!
Becca may be the only person on earth to love cats as much as (dare I say more than??) me.
The traditional Febgiving toast!
The World Premiere of Cornish Gamehenge. God I love puns.
You know it's a real party if there are commemorative menus!
Taking our turns at trying out the canned oxygen (for sale at Lunds and Byerly's) in Grapefruit flavor... Okay, I took like 20 turns. I really wanted to feel something, but I'm pretty sure the wine I had to drink that day was already making me feel a bit... loopy.
dinner parties, febgiving

Cornish Game Henge - fabulous. What fun friends! And despite being post F&W show, pics look awesome :)
You say despite the F&W show, I say because of the show.
what CUTE photos!!!! that oxygen is hilarious.
Too bad the oxygen didn't really work. I've tried the oxygen bar before and it totally gave me energy for hours.
Btw, I've met your husband before at TJ's. We conversed at the checkout for quite some time. Funny - I knew he looked familiar.
love it! what a wonderful idea :)
Thanks friends. I wish I would have been a little more proactive in picture taking, but am lucky to have a husband that can manage my "fancy" camera to take pictures of me taking O2 shots. Crystal, I think we need to visit an oxygen bar on our next date. Stephanie, cornish gamehenge was genius, and provided me with plenty of teeny wings for me to munch on. Joanna, I'm thrilled you visited my blog. THRILLED! Wishful, it's open to anyone and everyone who feels a little.. bleak in February. I invite you to host your own febgiving (even if it happens in march!). Joe, of course it was BECAUSE of the show. I'll check out Anonna soon (it's so close!)
