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...]

Where It All Started…Golden West Cafe

By Kristin on July 16, 2009 13 Comments

It was about a year ago. Chris Ann was in Baltimore for a visit. She had just come out of a dreary Minnesota winter. I planned a day of "art-inspiration-creativity-fun stops and shops"! We went to ArHaus and were quickly inspired by the vignettes and even had a great conversation with the artist/installer there. I saw Chris Ann take a deep, refreshing breath...she even smiled! We then went to Clipper Mill to scope out the artists and Woodberry Kitchen. We walked around and watched glass artists, iron artists and had … [Read more...]

Rehearsal Dinner, LoveFeast Style

By Kristin on May 30, 2009 Leave a Comment

The night after all the good eats with the boys and girls, the entire wedding party descended on our home for a "Rehearsal Dinner" (there really was no rehearsal, but it sounded like an appropriate name) cooked up by Devon. I made oven roasted cherry tomatoes earlier in the week as preparation for the special evening. Devon had it in his mind to prepare an oven roasted tomato, artichoke and exotic mushroom risotto served on a bed of baby arugula. Oh my goodness! Really, I don't know if words can begin to describe what … [Read more...]

Love Feast Fest!

By Kristin on May 15, 2009 3 Comments

I'm sitting here sipping my steamy hot Americano and nibbling (against my better judgment) on a Baked brownie. It is the first time in over a week I've had a chance to blog. I have to tell you, my mind is so full! There is so much to share and so many stories to write about. You see, this past week, my husband and I decided to let our lives be interrupted by an entire wedding party! For three years, we had a young man named Marc live in our home and he became a big brother to our kids. He was the boyfriend of (now … [Read more...]

No Coffee Blues And Blogging

By Chris Ann on April 16, 2009 7 Comments

Ok, so the morning starts like this. I wake up and the bus will be here in like 15 minutes and none of the tweens, hidden under their covers have breathed a breath of fresh air yet. I go down stairs in my plum colored cashmere robe, that I got for a steal let me tell you, and is suppose to make me feel glamorous in the morning and is not, and began to make my coffee. I fill the pot at the tiny stream from my fridge, because I am convinced that my city water is trying to kill me. This tiny stream irritates me every … [Read more...]

The Cove

By Chris Ann on April 7, 2009 1 Comment

Sometimes you just want to eat a burger. Eating a burger at The Cove, is like eating at your older brother’s apartment; your older brother that was into records, fishing, hunting, and skateboarding. The Cove has a relaxed hang-out type vibe where you can be comfortable, kickback, and hang with some friends. That is what “Good Vibe Ambassadors” and brothers, Bruce and Brock Larson, are trying to do with their burger joint. The menu is simple and inexpensive pub food. The hamburgers and hot dogs are served in basket with good … [Read more...]

Jamie Oliver and other British Wonders

By Kristin on December 30, 2008 5 Comments

My brother married a wonderful English lass! She's creative, beautiful and in touch with our slight obsession for all things food. Every year, we exchange names amongst the siblings and their spouses. This year my brother had my name. But, as my (newly added) sister in law discovered, it is still the wife's job to round out the gifts (and sign all the Christmas cards!). So, I opened a beautiful scarf from Scotland that my brother had chosen all by himself. He really nailed it! It's gorgeous! The next two gifts … [Read more...]
