Stuff unrelated to food, wine & spirits that I just feel like posting.
When I have a day with no plans made, I’ll often start it by checking out the Cultural site of the city government here to see what’s happening around the city. It’s got a very searchable agenda base, you can specify day, type of activity, free or with cost. They even have an iphone and… Read More Chinese Photography
Rather than post a zillion photos from our four day trip to Ushuaia, I’m going to do this in videos. This was my second trip and Henry’s first. My original trip I spent a bit more time writing about here (and following posts). This time I selected out about a hundred photos from nearly a… Read More Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, and Penguins
Oh let’s see, once again everyone out there is putting forth their end of year wrap-ups and I feel near obligated to participate. Actually, it’s kind of fun to look back and see what’s new, changed, etc. and look forward to a new year. Past editions of this were 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2007.

A gift of bourbon balls from Kentucky based guests – shared with the table at the end of dinner and then the remainder consumed by us over the following days. I got all excited when I heard there was… Read More November, Gone

As regular readers probably know, from early November until the end of the year we tend to be swamped here at Casa S with both public and private dinners, ’tis the season and all that, so I’m not getting out as much… Read More Nibbling Trio
Not a trio of birthdays, but a trio at a birthday, here at Casa S. It started out as a larger dinner birthday party for a young man from Michigan, arranged by a friend. But circumstances combined to ending up with just a threesome coming to dinner on Monday. I offered to fold them in… Read More Birthday Trio
Having been a trifle more prolific last month with blog posts there are only a foursome of photos leftover from the month to do a mini-round-up. So be it. I may as well just start off with the “gifts” for the month – both from the same evening, a woman from Seattle bearing some lovely… Read More Octoberfest o’Photos
