Join me at my home and “estate” for “Southern Summer Supper” under the ancient oak. We’ll start in my historic barn with nibbles, and then wander on down for this fabulous feast! It also happens that it would be my wedding anniversary, so Happy Anniversary to us! In our 16 years of marriage, we ate! We drank! We travelled! Foodies, before that was a term, a few of our favorite places to explore were New Orleans, Key West, and, of course, my beloved St. Croix. Chef Melissa hails from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and I couldn’t be more excited about this menu!
