Dinner at The Whip

I have a little bit of time this morning so here are some of the photos from our Christmas dinner at The Whip in Stowe. Well, really, it was a  lunch-drinks-appetizers-drinks-Christmas dinner at The Whip in Stowe.  As I wrote in a previous blog entry, we all had a great time, as always! The pork belly with toasted garlic chips over spinach made for a nice lunch... delicious! Sheila says the crab cakes were delicious as well! Christine managed to get another nice shot of Sheila and me... This couple in the background (below) was photo bombing me whenever I shot photos toward their table... and enjoying it!

Arriving at the restaurant... Happy to see Gee again... I had to shoot a photo of this... I even advised Lukey to never attempt this in a real NY pizzeria... he was dipping his pizza in ranch dressing...

Although one would never know it by our unseasonably warm weather and very obvious lack of snow, the Christmas season is here!  Each year, we kick off the Christmas season by going to dinner with friends so, yesterday afternoon, we headed up to Stowe to begin our Christmas by celebrating with this Christmas dinner. Stowe was having their annual Charles Dickens day yesterday as well so this quaint ski town was decorated for Christmas and filled with Christmas Carolers strolling around the streets and establishments in authentic period clothing. Even considering the obvious lack of snow, the atmosphere was definitely filled with a vibrant Christmas vibe. We spent some time in the bar for a few cocktails and appetizers before dinner. The pork belly appetizer was mouth-wateringly delicious! The drinks were delicious! The beer was delicious!  And, thankfully, the bar service was outstanding! Once seated at our table, we were treated with a very professional and knowledgeab
