Holiday Wishes

Best holiday wishes!

To save both contacts and links, and as my own storehouse for recipes, this blog remains, albeit less actively than before. Wherever you are, may the year's ending inspire you to cook simple yet delectable meals.

Seven: A table of six is a good idea.

The tree -made in China- has been hauled from the cellar and led lights are already shining on its decoration. The florist had a bough of mistletoe which is already above the entrance door. A menu has been decided on for a festive dinner with friends that's becoming a tradition. We're two days early, step two of three or four is for manhana.

The suggestion here is not: plan ahead and have fun in the process, which we heed anyway. The suggestion is that of the Barefoot Contessa: a table of six is a good idea. Not too small, not too big. And quantities you can handle.
