Hungry Eyes

HIM: When we lived in Salem, every Tuesday night was Sandwich Night. We would make a delicious meal from the tastiest ingredients. Since we moved to Jacksonville, I haven't been a part of the food creation process. However, Vanessa (being the brilliant chef she is...) usually has dinner waiting for me when I get home from law school.


Here are a few of the awesome meals we made together back when we were in Indiana:










Note the wine in some of the pictures. We had traveled around to many of the wineries in Southern Indiana and found some that were pretty good. Though, our choice favorite is the Moscato D'Asti. We've seen several ABC Liquors on Baymeadows Road here, but haven't made it in to see if they've got our fave or something equally delicious. We welcome any suggestions and look forward to exploring the wine and cuisine the area has to offer!


HER: Tuesday nights were definitely fun. We welcomed anyone who wanted to join us for some food and wine activity. Since I was usually off on Tuesdays, I had time to play while Sebastian was at school and Frank at work. Not pictured above, we created specialty sandwiches with homemade breads like focaccia, rosemary - potato, basil and feta, you name it. We accompanied the occasion with some tasty wines that we thought were definitely worth trying.

When we moved to Jacksonville, I was most excited having grocery stores all around, as well as the diversity of products available here. Enjoying having some time off and being at home, the options at dinner time were endless. Seafood, meats, cheeses, pastas, breads, and fresh veggies have kept the table of our family dinners very exciting. While at work, being called from a customer table for compliments. At home, the ums... and yums.... were definitely PRECIOUS and PRICELESS!

I love my career, it is definitely my passion and my hobby. Any chance I can get to share it with friends and family makes it all worth it!

HIM: It should also be noted that our table for these family dinners now consists of a computer printer box, which we've grown very fond of. ;) We expect to get a REAL table one of these days, but for the moment, we're contenting ourselves with the simple pleasures of good food and company... =)
