I don't mean to overwhelm you with pictures, but, really?
Last night I ate dinner at the home of my good friend, Lynn. Lynn is the type
of person who over thirty years ago, introduced me to Iranian caviar. She had
all of the accompaniments to go with it perfectly displayed. It was beautiful and delicious
and something I will never forget. I tell you this to warn you; I knew what I
was getting into last night. I didn't think I was going over and asking her for celery and
carrot sticks. I was totally prepared to splurge, and splurge I did. We started
off with a chilled Hendrick's martini, served in our own stainless steel ice cold
mixer. Then, we sat in the den to "catch up" while snacking on duck
pâté, creamy foghorn cheese, crispy fruit infused crackers, and olives that I
thought were fake. (So shiny and beautiful) This ex- Nutritarian was in heaven!
We moved into the kitchen where dimly lit candles
twinkled and the smell of roasted chicken permeated the room. I don't remember
when I enjoyed a meal more. Lynn instinctively knows that
attention to the smallest details really makes an evening. I so appreciate
everything she did for me. (She has always been an expert at caring for
others.)
Thank you, Lynn. Patti's plate has never looked so good!
