We just wrapped up a wonderful afternoon with food/friends/family, and I'm now full of roast beef and mashed potatoes and feeling very content. My Mom is in town and that's always an excuse to get everyone together for a big, raucous meal.
I always love having my friends and family in my home, and it doesn't happen often enough that we have a houseful of people as we did today. It makes me very, very happy.
Speaking of food, I ran out tonight and purchased The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper. I've been a fan of this show for a long time and was excited to hear that they'd produced a cookbook. I haven't cooked a thing out of it just yet, but I'm loving it already--so much fun to read and as informative as the show always is. I can just hear Lynn Rossetto Kasper's voice as I'm reading the book (I love, love, love cookbooks you can READ, not just pull out when you need a recipe). So for you cookbook lovers--this is a good one!
