Dinner Party II



More dinner party pictures! I know, we took a lot. These are for you to look at while I'm traveling to Mexico - which I'm not doing yet! Things keep going wrong with the car, and we're trying to get it fixed. Maybe we'll go tomorrow? Is someone wishing ill on my summer trips?? I have had some bad luck this year.

ANYWAYS, these photos are more focused on the event itself than the earlier post, and less on preparation. It was a celebration! Please to enjoy!


Friends good and dear! (Don't get your feelings hurt if you live near me and weren't invited mmkay?? Had to keep the guest list short in order to avoid killing self :))

Oh my gosh...how did you do all that??? The kiwi sorbet sounds amazing...as does the tangerine spritzer, and those homemade croutons, and the artichokes w/homemade mayo, and oh my gosh, I'm totally offended I wasn't invited:-)

Not really, but my gosh, I may have to pay you to cook for me sometime!
