Dinner Party

Dinner Party!

Amy and I bought a "Dinner for Six" at a Saatchi fundraiser. (Charlie and Kevin were informed but involved in the bidding process...) Case Dighero and Steven Brooks came to our house and prepared a delicious five course dinner. I've included the menu after the photos. As usual, the photos tell the story better than I do.

This is an "art photo" that says absolutely nothing. I'll keep trying...

Veal.

Halibut - very yummy. The risotto was SO GOOD.

Rebecca and David Lucke

Married 16 years and still in love!

Becca and I were pregnant with Landon and Baker at the same time. They are BFFs.

Us. Kevin looks a little irritated and I don't know why. I think my hair looks very shiny in this picture. Maybe he's jealous. Or maybe he's tired of me talking about my hair.

Amy and Charlie Anderson

I can't remember how long they've been married but they are crazy about each other.

Kevin went to college with both of them and Amy has lots of stories to prove it. They have three gorgeous girls. Little Anna has a bday tomorrow. Happy Birthday Anna!

Case Dighero and Steven Brooks -- they're opening "Soul" on Oct. 2. We wish them the best - and of course, we'll be checking out Soul as soon as I return from New York (assuming we have money left after that...)

They did a great job with our party!! Everyone should hire them. Or just go to Soul and eat the grits.
