Every week my friend Adriana and I have this tradition of cooking dinner together over a bottle of wine and some good conversation, no matter the weather.

I’m participating in Chelsea’s Ten on Tuesday again this week! These questions focus around a certain holiday (one of my favorites!) this Thursday! Feel free to participate in the comments. 1.
