Do you have plans this weekend? You might want to consider attending Chicago Gourmet.
From the press release:
“The only urban gourmet food and wine showcase with tastings, demonstrations and hands-on workshops in the U.S. that is open to the public, launches its premiere event on September 26-28 in Millennium Park.
The two-day festival features international and world-renowned American chefs. For wine aficionados and lovers, Frederick Dame, the first American Master Sommelier with three other Masters will offer tastings and seminars.”
And since you all are the most sought after tastemakers on the web, Easy and Elegant Life has been offered a special online promotion of 10% off your ticket to the event. Use the promotional code: CG2008TEN when registering.
Can you imagine what your next dinner party will look like after you’ve been steeped for two days in the best that the culinary world has to offer? Send me your tasting notes!
Good Morning!

The weather has turned seasonal here in the Old Dominion. Mornings are crisp and clear, temperatures hover in the sixties until close to midday. In short, it is a delight to be out and about these days. I am enjoying walking my daughter to pre-school. She has just discovered that she can hop up and walk along on the very low “walls” that border the front “lawns” on Monument Avenue. It’s such a perfect little kid moment.
I’d also like to recommend a perfect little adult moment. This morning, why don’t you take your breakfast or coffee outdoors?
I’m off to wipe down the adirondacks on the front porch… .
Happy weekend.
