Last year we enlisted the help of a very talented friend to help us design our boat logo. Now that we are nearing the boat arrival we decided to get together to finalize the details over dinner chez nous. What a great evening spending time catching up with such a good friend, dining, sipping wine….and a bit of logo discussion…

We now have a game plan for measuring the hull for logo size, bringing the boat back to Montreal, stopping by the graphic place to have the logo applied then taking ‘our lady’ to her new home. Good plan!

…the evening began with a very thoughtful belated birthday gift – a ruby slipper (for Kathy of Oz) made entirely of chocolate…

…. and the most creative and fun hostess gift ever from Small Talk Vineyards…

One side is full of compliments for the cook…

…the other side of the bottle…not so complimentary…

 

Our friend’s ‘chauffeur’ pawsed for a post dinner belly rub and photo op…

I guess she figures this is her better side…

And today we have the side benefits of enjoying left over Risotto Milanese made into little Arancini with some leftover Osso Bucco sauce for brunch…

 

 

…and a little morsel of Semifreddo…

Thanks so much Shaune and Chelsey for all your help and your pleasant company.
Looking forward to many many more.
