more dinner than god!

as laurel said, we definitely achieved the impossible dream...even though we got started late. three different types of soup, twelve baguettes...and enough time left over to make cookies (which had previously been bandied about as the impossible part of the dream). though...most of them got eaten as dough. (it was fine by me. i think i prefer molasses cookies that way.) so the dinner was an unqualified success, and there were many fabulous people to hang out with. a bunch of us ended up staying late, telling bad jokes in the weinstein living room. (ducks...condoms...yeah.) i'm always absurdly happy to have everyone back...more so than ever, maybe, this (last!) time around.

in any case, laurel is a kitchen goddess...and maybe i'm some sort of minor kitchen deity as well. after all, i helped!
