our housewarming meal!


this weekend, blakey & i hosted a housewarming brunch for our lovely new home!  only 10 months after moving in.  always a reason to celebrate.


eight of our dearest friends joined us for the food & fun.  {two were out of town.  i am determined to get the ten of us together in the next year.  & to take a picture together.  it's totally happening.}


our celebration began with orange & grapefruit water, mimosas, and grapefruit juice & sparkling wine {what is this drink called?  certainly it has a name!  none of us could think of it, nor was a quick google search any help.}


the star beverage of the brunch was amy & ogden's oyster shooters!  fresh oysters from the fish market,  the zing zang bloody mary mix, a little red wine vinegar, vodka, & a little worchestershire.  it was delicious!!  & quite fun to drink oysters out of shot glasses.


next up is our delicious brunch feast!  {click on the links for recipes}

homemade biscuits served with blake's carolina pulled pork, homemade apple butter that cooked in my slow cooker all night long, & a delicious chevre goat cheese spread with arugula & chives, & homegrown lemon thyme.
