The Dinner Party

I admit it, when it comes to cooking and entertaining, I do get carried away. Here are some photos from last nights feed. The grilled red pepper and cauliflower salad was very tasty and easy, too. Meat was fork tender with a great flavor. Dessert to die for, but a pain in the ass to make, and I will probably substitute a simpler fruit sauce when I make it again.

The smoked trout appetizer is an old favorite, and would work well with smoked salmon.

Time in the kitchen: approximately 8 hours. Oh well.

One of my favorite art installations is Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party. I still remember the awe and excitement when I first saw it with my friend Elaine in Chicago. She and I marched for women's rights. Ah, heady days, and we had lots of dinner parties.

Bon appetit!

Sucking It Up is a Universal Experience

Proust, Joyce, and others have had to suck it up, too. Even F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I don't compare myself to them, novelist of computer crime as I am, but it's nice to be in good company.

Recipe en route, as well as photos of last night's broccoli-mushroom quiche. So stop by again soon.

Tonight it the party at the local mystery book store (Kate's) and I'm taking a lovely appetizer.
