Steph and Bret's Wedding at DC Ranch

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending my friend's gorgeous outdoor wedding at DC Ranch in Scottsdale.

After a short-and-sweet ceremony on the lawn, we headed upstairs for cocktails and appetizers, including lamb shanks, teriyaki steak skewers, coconut lobster, tuna sashimi cups, and vegetable toasts.

For our dinner on the patio, we enjoyed a gorgonzola salad, and incredible steak...

As a 20-something gal, I have seen my share of nuptials, and I have to say, DC Ranch definitely puts on a good show.  From the scenery to the food, I was impressed with the whole night.  I am not a cake person, and I find that usually wedding cakes are more for the look and less for the taste...but this one was both beautiful and delicious.  They had a live band and a photo booth, and a spectacular view from dusk til dark.  When I do tie the knot, I imagine it will be outside...and I would seriously consider doing my own special day here.  If they could promise I would look this beautiful I would sign up today...

Hello April

To all my 4 beloved fans (and 100s of secret fans), my apologies for the lapse in bloglove.  I have been a crazy headless chicken these last few weeks.  If I could just get a few more hours in my day we would be set.  I am really starting to feel like the love child of Charlie Sheen and Ally McBeal.  Sheen for my undying commitment to partying--even if it means no down time, and Ally for the attorney-like hours I keep at work--somebody's gotta fund this lunacy.  Two rounds of Vegas, birthday celebrationssss, bridal showers, weddings and loads of work has made me a busy bee.  And I've missed you so.  But I am back, and I won't leave you again...well at least until Puerto Penesco in May.  But for now, I am back to share some food and fun.  Let the bloglove resume...
