The Two Hundred and Sixty Ninth...

Number Two Hundred and Sixty Nine:

Book Party, Dinner, Tacos, Nate's Taco Truck

Our friend Brian Burns had his book party today! He spent two years working on this book about Lewis Ginter, one of Richmond's Gilded Age philanthropists and Northside neighborhood founder. Brian and his partner Judd did an unveiling of the cover, Brian read a bit of it, followed by a book signing. The Humes' graciously hosted at their place, and Nate's Taco Truck fed us. There were a lot of interesting people at the party: former library staff from my job, lots of neighborhood people, some radio people and Joe Morrissey. Good solid time for sure. Let's call this one Ginterstache!

The Two Hundred and Fifty First...

Number Two Hundred and Fifty One:

Tastebuds, Dinner, Bacon wrapped shrimp with Hanover tomatoes, cucumbers, lavender potato salad and blue cheese vinaigrette

The double dinner date wound up being wonderfully sporadic today. Our neighborhood friends Judd & Brian asked us over to show them how to set up an Evite, then suggested dinner afterward. We couldn't resist! After walking over to their house and helping Brian set things up, he has a book on Lewis Ginter being released in a week, we headed over to Tastebuds for some more fine food and conversation! And yes, I did have that awesome shrimp dish again and yes, it was delicious! A really great evening! I do look rather doofy in this picture, but then most every napstache is!
