A Real Fireplace

You don't see many wood-burning fireplaces anymore, especially in restaurants. We walked 12 blocks on a very cold and windy night to get to Mandetta's for dinner, and what a welcomed sight this sparkling fireplace was! 


I think someone's grandmother had decorated the mantel for Valentines Day--it was so old-fashioned and cozy!


My husband suggested I take a BEFORE AND AFTER picture of his salad of candied walnuts with roasted apples on a bed of greens which were contained inside the cylinder of a very thin cucumber slice.

    1. Having firewood on hand was a big deal to my dad who chopped wood on his farm until his 80s. My folks kept a wood fire going from the first frost to the first cherry blossom. Thanks for your comment. (I like your website!)
