Quarantine Life Staying in Cocktails, Cook Together on Zoom

Friday night’s menu via our Instagram post and story. 
The Quarantinelife has definitely inspired us in new ways to connect and be creative in dinner plans.

One of our good friends and amazing cook set up a menu and we contributed with cocktail ideas.

On zoom, everyone gathered and cheers on the 3 different cocktail options from 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM and we proceeded to cook the delicious fish dish or pasta on the menu below. They are both delicious thanks to our dear friend Bruce Teitelbaum.
