It all started with these wonderful vintage snowflake glasses that were a gift from my good friend Carol. Here in New England, in the dead of winter we look for any excuse to come out of hibernation.
So, invitations were made and sent out.
Decorations were hung.
Candles were lit.
Goody bags were assembled. Every party needs goody bags.
The menu: Parmesan and Thyme Crisps
Savory Palmiers with pine nuts, sundried tomatoes, pesto and goat cheese
Pappa al Pommodoro Hearty Italian tomato soup with crunchy homemade croutons
Not shown: Baby salad greens with red pear, toasted walnuts and vinaigrette

I made this spicy moist gingerbread with orange glaze. Are you hungry yet?
Delicious Strawberry Rhubarb cobbler made from the precious fruits of last summer
Crisp snowflake shortbread cookies served on a snowflake plate no less. I didn't get a picture of Mary (who brought them) in her snowflake sweater and socks!
We had a great time. I really have a wonderful collection of friends who love to cook and eat and laugh. I am a lucky woman to have these friends. Make time for lunch with your special friends.

Still I am glad you had a lovely time, get togethers are just the best hard work, but a Jacobs join helps as well.
I reckon you will all have to go exercise now ha ha ....
