Debra of Eliot's Eats


Okay, I have been in foodie circles with Debra for awhile now and I just learned something today. Her last name is not Eliot! Whoops. But her cat is...and she is an avid T.S. Eliot fan. Okay. I still feel like a dolt. 

 I wanted to share her what-we-would-do-if-money-were-no-object list because it's awesome...
  • Deep down, I think we would both like to be artists.Warning: we have NO formal training.   
  • We love to dabble in pottery, metal arts, and woodworking. We are that couple you overhear at galleries, exhibits, and art festivals: “We could do that.”
  • I would also love to go to culinary school, open a garden shop, and write.
  • Hubby would like to grow grapes and hops, open a winery, develop the next best microbrew, and invent the next big thing.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
