It was wonderful and a smashing success in the food department. I think a good time was had by all. At a certain point I sat watching everyone eat and talk and drink beer and wine and laugh and generally enjoy themselves and i wept at how grateful i was to cook for three days and have it be so received and taste really good. It was a moment of feeling deeply in relationship and belonging and happily of service and wildly in love with food and people and life, the last of which is my favorite state to be in. So, I had to cry a little from happiness and contentment. Here are some photos...
