It’s pretty crazy how fast time flies…
Boat Shoe Boy and I just celebrated a mini milestone in our relationship and spent Friday evening enjoying a carpet picnic and political banter while packing for his upcoming two-week tour de America.
All smiles :)
Despite the fact that we’d noshed on some oysters in San Francisco the day before, I stuck with my original plan of having an at-home oysterfest à deux. The idea was a bit half-baked considering I have never shucked an oyster before in my life, but it actually ended up being really fun and only moderately dangerous. For the record, butter knives work in lieu of a proper oyster shucker. {For an oyster shucking tutorial, click here.}
Oysterfest.
The rest of our carpet picnic was a product of Whole Foods and their awesome staff. I went in with a vague idea of what I wanted and left a pretty happy camper after a conversation with their cheesemonger and their beer sommelier. All in all, a low-key but successful evening. Sadly, I had to say goodbye to Boat Shoes on Saturday morning as he departed for Chicago/the Florida Keys/Vegas. The next time I see him will be in Vegas in two weeks where we’ll be attending the Jimmy Buffett concert!
While I try not to be overly sappy (‘try’ is the operative word here), I can’t not include a few pics from the last few months… it fits with the theme and who am I to betray a potentially photo-filled blog post?
