You’ve got a week…
February 5, 2025
to pull it together, so this should be pretty simple. Valentine’s dinner at home, a fresh floral note, a little jewel could be fun and of course something sparkling. Easy enough. Happy Valentines Day!
Champagne, Prosecco, a Champagne Cocktail, Kir Royale, or an Aperol Spritz. Any way you go, you’ve got to love the bubbles.
Cacio e Pepe. With this Bon Appetite recipe dinner couldn’t be easier.
You’ll be wondering why you don’t make this 3 ingredient dessert all the time. Bruleed Raspberries.
Shell pink carnations just have an old school romance about them, but any sweet small bunch will do the trick.
Elsa Peretti knew a little something about quiet luxury. This bezel set ruby bracelet just says simplequietmodern in the most lovely way.

Ring It In
December 30, 2024
No matter how you plan on ringing in the New Year, there is always a place for a little something bubbly. Added to a simple menu of ” befores and afters”* and you have the makings of a great celebration, large group or small. Cheers to all of you that have checked in here this year. I am very grateful. Happy New Year!
Ya need glasses and these modern cylinder flutes are perfect.

You can’t go wrong with a classic Champagne Cocktail.
Someone is always asking if there will be Greek Meatballs, so yes, there will be.
Same goes for these Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates.

My personal Champagne accompaniment for as long as I can remember, classic Gougere.
As pretty as this is, as long as there’s Champagne it’s hard not to include a Bitter French. Photo: Epicurious
Made in advance and so easy to plate up, a Peppermint Semifreddo caps things off with the perfect sweet note.
