6 Plates With 6 Friends

Thursday night we had a blogger meet up at Six Plates, a local wine bar complete with comfy couches and mood lighting (great for socializing, not so great for food photography!). So, I’ve resorted to using some of the photos from their website. It’s the only way to do the beautiful wine bar justice!

What a cute little place.

We had the back corner of the bar, a Blogger VIP section if you will :)

I apologize in advance for the flash.

I ordered the Mediterranean Salad with Poppadum and Rice Vinaigrette–tart and tangy!

And enjoyed several of these frites!

We were chattin’ up a storm! Of course it helped that we knew what was going on in each other’s lives already–no need for awkward introductions or icebreaker games :) We’re already dreaming up future get togethers. Durham has so many hidden treasures that need to be explored!

And THIS is why I blog.

I’ve met so many great women that I consider my real friends because they ARE! I blog because I love meeting people. Plain and simple. Everyone of you all bring so much joy to my life.

I sent each gal off with a little snowman bag…

A seasonal Clif Bar, 2 tea bags, and the cookies I baked last night. I simply can’t resist an opportunity to bake!

I wish I could travel from city to city to meet bloggers from all around :) Wouldn’t that be cool?!

  3. Oh I wish I had the money, I’d do a blogger travel meet up too! You’re so right – we do already know each other! I couldn’t quite put my finger on it when we had the Chicago one, I just kept saying it felt like I’d known them for years. But it’s b/c we already know what’s going on! :) hehe

    What a cute restaurant! All you bloggers look beautiful, and I’m glad you had fun! Whenever I read about blogger meet-ups, it’s like you all go on a magical food adventure, haha.

    Rice vinaigrette sounds intriguing… and are those cheesy fries?! They look so unique (and yummy)! :)
