Welcome December! Time for all things chocolate, when our kitchens are full of that wonderful stuff, along with the usual fruits and nuts, peppermint candies, caramels, and whatever else we can think of to combine with chocolate. And that’s just the bakery! The ‘hot side’ of the kitchen is busy planning and cooking for private parties and lunches, while keeping the dining room happy with holiday specials like fresh pomegranate waffles and pumpkin pancakes. Hungry?
I’m here to tell you about two up-coming holiday events here at Affairs. These are festive gatherings, and you can reserve a spot for one or a table for eight, your choice. Either way, we hope you will enjoy our Affairs holiday hospitality.
Here they are! If you wish to join us, please call or email for reservations.
