a miami weekend and spoon fed winner announced
* * * * * *
We spent the weekend in Miami for my medical school reunion (ten years!). The reunion was held at the stately Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. We’d visited the hotel for a couple of wedding receptions in the past, but we’ve never stayed there before. It was both elegant and comfortable, and I’d go back in a heartbeat. Plus, the shower had the best water pressure of any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. That alone is reason to go back.
While we were in Coral Gables, we visited old haunts – including our old condo on Majorca Avenue. A festival for Carnaval was going on downtown on Miracle Mile, and we took advantage of the warm, breezy weather and wandered in and out of the art vendors’ tents. A highlight of the trip – besides catching up with people I had not seen in ten years – was getting to meet a couple of food blogging friends, Reneé and Eleanor, over dim sum.
Here are some photos of our 36 hours in Miami. You can click through each photo to go to my Flickr photostream for more details.
And, the giveaway results? By a random number generator, the winner of Kim Severson’s Spoon Fed: How Eight Cooks Saved My Life is:
