THE SMELL OF 

FRESH BAKED COOKIES

Visited Joy Stinger's house yesterday.

Picking up jars of her fall crop

raw honey for holiday gift giving.

As I entered her kitchen, 

the unmistakable aroma of 

fresh baked cookies filled the air.

She grabbed a still warm 

chocolate cookie, and said

"open wide."

What a treat.

What great timing to visit the 

Stinger household.

Thanks, Joy.

79th ROGUE UNDERGROUND DINING

23 lucky "first respondents" attended

the 79th Rogue event last evening,

and were treated to a decadent

"7 Deadly Sins" themed menu.

Lots of butter, and more than

one dish smothered in cream

and foie gras.

OMG.

Perfectly paired with the 

themed decadent beverage.

For the holidays.

ST. LOUIS GINGERBREAD ARCH

Gingerbread houses are a traditional

Christmas time favorite.

The Chase Park Plaza hotel

pastry chef created a unique

version of one,

featuring a 6-foot high St. Louis arch

and the surrounding neighborhood

for this grand old hotel.

Stop by and see this gingerbread 

work of pastry art

in this recently refurbished hotel,

in midtown St. Louis.

THANKSGIVING GETAWAY

Renting a furnished 3-bedroom  

resort villa, complete with full kitchen,

was just the what we needed to 

hold an overnight Thanksgiving venue

for 17 family members for in 

the beautiful wooded scenery of 

central Missouri.

We cooked, we played, we fished,

we feasted, we slept.

All in a natural setting at

Innsbrook resort.

Everyone pitched in,

and cooked an assigned dish.

We even shared a past vacation

slide show!

So sorry, Annabel and Jordan

whose flight was cancelled

by a monster snow storm.

Let's try again next year.
