Stowe Christmas Celebration

Image
We've skipped a few years of celebrations due to the pandemic.   Although, I have to be honest, we did recently discuss the wisdom of celebrating this year considering how many people are now sick with the virus, the flu and other viruses.  We took a chance and headed to Stowe for our annual Christmas celebration anyway.   We started the afternoon at Idletyme Brewing.  Frank and Christine met us there.  We had some wings, a big pretzel, and a few delicious beers.   I started with Zog's Pale Ale.  Sheila started with a Stowespresso which is made with Green Mountain Vanilla Vodka, Kahlua, Baileys and cold brew espresso.  We both tasted a unique Stout sporting notes of chocolate and coffee as well as a unique Vanilla Porter.  Personally, I preferred the Zog's Pale Ale and stuck with that.   Here is a photo of Sheila's Stowespresso...

A Christmas Dinner

Image
Every Christmas season, we meet with a few friends for an afternoon and a Christmas dinner at The Whip Bar & Grill. This is something Frank started doing a number of years ago and it has become a tradition that we all look forward to every Christmas. Our annual Christmas dinner at The Whip was yesterday and we had a great time! We arrive at the bar around lunchtime each year... have some lunch... some drinks... some appetizers... some drinks... then we move to a large table for dinner. Last night's dinner was delicious, as always.  I have more photos that I'll share sometime later but, for now, I'll share a photo here of Sheila and me at The Whip's bar... a photo of me is a rarity since I am usually the one holding the camera but Christine helped out by shooting a few photos of us at different times throughout the day.  Thanks for the photos, Christine... and thanks, Frank, for hosting this dinner every year!   Merry Christmas to all!
