BILL

So, tonight we all trotted over the hills and through the woods to Bill Hovard's beautiful home in South Kortright, NY. Bill prepared a delicious Mediterranean inspired menu of Roast Chickens, Spinach Pie, Sauteed Whole Red Potatoes, Roast Garlic and Baked Fennel. Before dinner we nibbled on Jalapeno and Lime Glazed Salmon, Olives and Salami courtesy of Michael and his Bill. After dinner we enjoyed a spread of the finest French Cheeses brought by Bill's fine French friend Alexis Gamblin. Michael and Bill's friends and neighbors Michel Dionne and Tim LaFontaine brought a homemade, beautifully decadent chocolate cake. Fredrik and I brought Wesley and Adam who entertained us all night with their love/hate shenanigans. Ha! We spent the night and said our goodbyes over coffee and last minute stories of ventures in real estate and trips to India. It was like the shortest, most fabulous vacation ever.

MICHAEL & BILL

We had the pleasure of food and fun at the home of Michael J Gould and Bill McElyea. They have a big country house in Roxbury, NY. Comfort was on the menu with Meatloaf wrapped in Bacon, Mac and Cheese and Roasted Cauliflower. It was delicious and so was the company. Fredrik and I woke up this morning in one of their guest rooms. It was beautiful to sit in their kitchen drinking Coffee watching the Sun come up over the snow covered hill behind their property. We didn't want to leave.
