Farewell to Mere: Wine Club, Sunday Supper and Hookah, could we have a more random evening?!?

It started with Wine Club, noting taste profiles in our food journal.  The nights of drinking wine soon morphed into elaborate meals accompanied by wine and great conversation.  In the last few years we shared a good number of our best meals and bottles of wine with our great friends Seth and Meredith Maddox.  The following entry was made by Meredith when they brought us dinner, one of our first nights in our new place.

"First meal at the dinning room table on Cuyler Ave. Eclectic meal brought by the Maddoxs: Cashew Chili spiced chicken sate with peanut sauce, spinach salad with basil, tomato and peppers, and chocolate pudding brownies with espresso.  

Wine: Caro Dorum & Goldeneye both received a rating of 90.5

'They excel at different things'

A wonderful night!"

While I don't have pictures of all our meals, the following pics are from our farewell meal together before Meredith left to train in Baltimore.  

Baguette, grilled vegetables, lamb shank, and beef fillet, mashed potatoes, Lemon Caesar Salad, Strawberry Rhubarb Pudding Cake.

To top off our last night before Meredith's departure for training we celebrated with Hookah on the UIC campus.  I think we had Pink and Fruit, how I wish we had pictures of the "after party"!
