Oxbow Visits Wabi Sabi

After a marvelous afternoon spent slurping oysters with the Oxbow boys, we decide to take them out for a little surprise of our own. Mama Joan had given us the inside tip on a special event on the menu at Wabi Sabi, so we take full advantage. The instructions are simple: meet us down the road when the day’s batch is done.

They arrive to a cottage cloaked in darkness and full of food to feed the soul.

 SOUP NIGHT AT WABI SABI, DOWN THE ROAD FROM OXBOW BREWERY.

Dinner would not be complete without a couple bites of rustic apple pie smothered in cinnamon (accompanied, of course, by an Oxbow saison):
