I have east coast friends now!?
I had a dinner party this evening, and the theme was comfort food. The menu: chicken and veggie pot pies (recipe courtesy of David Adam), mashed potatoes, butternut squash soup, and brownies, and misc items that people brought. It was a hit! I do believe fun was had by all (my fellow writers in the MFA program), and some people walked away with festive items to borrow -- some David Bowie CDs, a Richard Hugo book, etc. Me -- I'm still sobering up, but happy :-) Nothing quite like a carbo fest to perk up yer spirits! Tomorrow, I must write poems! Happy vibes to all who read this. Though I had fun tonight, I miss ya'll on the west coast!! --Janel

Most excellent! Sounds like the usual Jummy Juan feast - I am quite sure everyone left with a happy tummy!
We miss you too! Can't wait to see you during the holidays :-)

Make new friends, and keep the old... one is silver and the other's gold. Heh, sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Sounds most excellent (and yummy!). Of course, I guess you have a break in your busy schedule on Mondays, so it's a good time to host. ;-)
