Hello! It certainly has been a minute (a month and a half) but I know no one is counting. Wedding planning, guys! It's all about that. (And skiing, duh!)
I'm the bride who's wedding "dreams" originally involved an elopement - and now I have a collection of SIXTY EIGHT antique bottles (my own. my moms. plus a friends) to use as vases to decorate my 20 round tables. This has involved a lot of time, planning and inspiration: researching and choosing from the many varieties of flowers + their color combinations. Calculating the number of stems + bunches. Factoring in the the cost. Planning of the DIY project that is bottling your own arrangements of unprocessed bulk flowers. Antiquing and hunting for special bottles, plus flower arranging was actually a fun way to spend a Saturday with my Mom. She is an expert gardener and knows all things flowers.
Bob and I also hired a band this past weekend! Choosing songs and picturing everyone on the dance floor is a real feel good part of planning. It makes me the most excited to celebrate with everyone.
Back to the food. When at Watertown's greasy spoon, Deluxe Town Diner one must always order 1 SWEET POTATO PANCAKE on the side, literally the best pancake you have ever tasted. We always do, except on this day we didn't. I had the Cherry Babka instead!
PS I fully realize the irony of posting this snowy day when it is 70* out in Boston.
Ahhh, wedding planning. I don't miss that! Also, Deluxe Town Dinner is SO good - the sweet potato pancake is a must!! We've also been loving the diner on north beacon street in watertown - soooo good!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, love the sound of all the wedding details you are collecting / planning. I know it's going to be so personal. As you know, I am a regular at Deluxe Town and I could not agree more about the potato pancakes! Such a simple dish, but so delicious!
