The building in the distance is the Jackson Building in downtown Asheville, NC. We’re dining on tapas at Capellas on 9, in the new AC Hotel by Marriott where we’re splurging on a two day birthday celebration. In a little while we’ll watch the rise of the full super moon over the mountains!
That one was:
Capella Hamburguesa: grass fed pork and beef sliders, piquillo peppers, manchego, arugula aioli. It was followed by Croquetas De Gambas: shrimp croquets, romesco sauce, fried garlic. The next night we started with Costillitas De Res: rioja braised short rib, farrotto, butternut squash, rosemary parmesan. But the very best was a special that night, Lamb Sliders. Since it was a special, we don’t have access to it’s Spanish name but it was an amazing treat for the tastebuds!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
And the flight of what kind of sandwiches?
