Heidi’s Restaurant Review

By Chris Ann on October 18, 2009 5 Comments

You just have no idea how incredible this drink was. It is the drink I've been obsessing about since last summer, when my husband Todd and I had a lovely pre-anniversary dinner date at Heidi's, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Maybe I was tired, maybe I just needed to relax, or maybe I was thirsty. But whatever it was, this drink hit the spot. It could have been that our server muddled my second mojito table side, the smashed mint wafting in the air. Definitely, it has risen to the top of my drink experiences, right up there with … [Read more...]

Taste of MckMama’s Mudd Lake Gathering

By Chris Ann on October 11, 2009 2 Comments

Friday night I went with two friends on a road trip to meet up with a gathering of gals, out in the country, in Watertown, Minnesota - at a place called Mudd Lake. Here's a little taste of the gathering, hosted by Jennifer of MckMama, and the time that we shared. What a thrill to meet MckMama. She rules as a Mommy Blogger Queen. And, even though I'm a food blogger....I think having four kids and being trapped in suburbia, made the evening out quite fitting for me, if not mandatory. This event had lots of mamas … [Read more...]

From Dryer Lint to Dreams

By Chris Ann on October 6, 2009 5 Comments

We were on the phone again tonight... one of us Twittering and Facebook-ing, one of us loading dishes in the dishwasher and waiting for a teenager to get off the computer. And, we are both reeling with giddiness! Why you ask? Well, one year and a half ago, two friends (and their husbands - whether they liked it or not!), set out to find an adventure! We weren't really sure where it would lead or how we would do it. In fact, we didn't always feel very - clever. One of us didn't even know how to cut and paste, yet, let … [Read more...]

The Godfather Would be Proud!

By Kristin on October 1, 2009 8 Comments

So, as you can see, we've been a bit absent...sorry, folks! We'd like to say we were traveling the world searching for the finest culinary creations, or sharing meals with celebrities...reality? We were sucked into the "back to school year vortex!" You would think we'd never sent 8 kids to school! We lost track of time! We apologize! (Not very Godfather like!) As we reentered the blogging world, Elizabeth (fellow blog writer) filled us in on what we had missed! We were nominated for the Mobbie award in the favorite … [Read more...]

Lingering Before Returning

By Chris Ann on September 2, 2009 6 Comments

Today is the end of an era. Today, I sent my little-est flower into the world of all day kindergarten. To bloom and grow... So, for the first time in fifteen years I am going to have something I haven't had in a while - time. Now, that the kids will be back in school, we will again be able to focus on our business here at LoveFeast Table. Kristin and I discussed this in detail this past summer...during one of our high powered meetings. Of course, we will still have our hands full with chauffeuring, … [Read more...]

13.5% Wine Bar in Hamden

By Kristin on August 28, 2009 6 Comments

Hamden, Hon! Home of Cafe Hon, Golden West Cafe, Red Tree, In Watermelon Sugar and many other favorite shopping boutiques! It is an area that has been blooming and blossoming into a little hub of creative activity! It is a bit reminiscent of the hipster Williamsburg area in Brooklyn, NY. I have to say, Hamden gives me just a little hope, that Baltimore can emerge to be a fun city with some true personality! Ok, enough said. My husband and I were approached about a year ago, about opening a wine bar. We racked our brains … [Read more...]

Miss Irene’s…Ask for Rusty’s Section!

By Kristin on August 2, 2009 4 Comments

We had heard good things about Miss Irene's and when friends of our asked us to go, we jumped at the chance! We arrived, were warmly greeted and escorted up to the upstairs dining room. We started out with a cheese plate and other antipasti and began to pour the wine! Malbecs have been up there with my favs lately, so we ordered a bottle of Malbec and settled in for a fun evening! Our server Rusty and his counterpart, were on top of things from the very beginning. Devon and I like service that is attentive but … [Read more...]
