Dishing it up/ with Sharon Insul

Come sit with me for awhile . . .
and see what I’m bringing to the table ®

“How do I love thee . . . I love thee to the level of every day’s most quiet need, by sun and candle-light . . .” Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861). Over one hundred and fifty years later, I would say Ms. Browning nailed it!

We have been writing, painting, singing, signing, saying, and showing just how much we love one another since . . . well probably way before man began turning actions into tangible symbols of love. From cave drawings to Cartier, Linzer Heart Sandwich Cookies to tattoos, cigar bands to gold bands, and . . . well, I’m sure you’ve got my gist . . . Do you think you know where I’m going??? . . . Hell, I’m not even sure where I’m going with all this . . . yet!!! Um . . . maybe that statement is a touch misleading.

The above photo . . . Red feather Christmas wreath, that I re-purposed with twinkle lights forming an abstract heart around red, the ultimate color of love, and certainly Valentine’s Day. Ah ha . . . see I really did, and do know where I am going! . . . phew! Be still my heart! I just have soooo many out-of-the-box ideas that I need to grab a hold of the reins, and reign in my enthusiasm! The photo below? oh that’s an easy answer. . . I’m just getting your Valentines appetite in gear . . .

For those of you who like spending Valentine’s Day with your honey in a secluded romantic get away . . . I say . . . Hotel Maison !!! Why??? . . . Why not??? I get to pick the menu, create the ambiance, orchestrate the music (not muzak), decide what, when, and where each course is served . . . Now that, my friends, is not what you’ll get in a restaurant! It’s o k, go ahead, giggling is definitely optional.

The photo above is from my Valentine’s Day last year. Please, by all means click on the photo, and step into one of my many ‘pop-up’ private dining spots in Hotel Maison. As for this years Valentine’s Evening . . . hold on zippy . . . not so fast . . . patience people . . . I have much to share with all you romantic enthusiasts . . . just not yet!!!
