First Dining Club at the New Digs

We've been in Madison Park for about 3 weeks now and we're finally settling into our funky, little rental house.  It's small-ish with a teeny, tiny kitchen (no counter space and no cabinet fronts) and lots of original "charm," but we've managed to make it feel like ours... at least for the next 5 months.

After last night, and thanks to this group of amazing friends, the house is actually starting to feel like home.

Our dining club is now in its 6th year - and still going strong!  Southern Italy was delicious...  yep, that's an outdoor piazza right there in our living room.  It's also a fun excuse to say "Montepulciano" over and over again in your best Italian accent and buy those wicker-basket wine bottles from Trader Joes.

Can't wait to "visit" Provence next month!
