Day 330 of 365

Serving 12 this Thanksgiving

We had 12 people over for Thanksgiving this year, our biggest gathering yet. To fit everyone, we had to bring out the old table from the attic (the first two people on either side are at the smaller one) and we placed most of the food on the hutches on the left and in the back and let everyone serve themselves. It was a spirited, enjoyable way to spend the holiday.

Food porn!

For our anniversary dinner, Casey and I went to Gramercy Tavern -- just hours after Michelle Obama had lunch there. (And some people freaked.) This was my first course, whole spelt spaghetti with sungold tomatoes, capers and basil. I remarked that it looked like a spaghetti cocoon.
