. . . then I’ll eat leaves.” This is a quote from our friend Andrew (aka Squid) from this past weekend’s dinner. Andrew, Denise, and their son Matty joined Carolyn, Jon, Josh, and I for another one of Josh’s cooking extravaganzas! At one point in the night Andrew – who had a full view of the stove – was saying – Are those leaves? Are you frying leaves? Are we eating leaves? He’s cooking those leaves. Well – if Josh tells me to eat leaves, I’ll eat leaves.
Needless to say Josh outdid himself again and we all had a great time eating, drinking, and visiting. There were some surprise hits – Jon couldn’t eat enough of the butterscotch and he did get “smoke” as requested, Carolyn couldn’t get enough of a particular cheese filling (there was spontaneous clapping when that dish appeared), Denise loved the “popcorn” (but did get enough duck), and obviously Andrew was quite taken with the leaves! I can’t give away too much right now because Saturday was a practice run for a number of plates we’ll be serving for Thanksgiving. And as many of you know, we don’t tell anyone who’s coming for Thanksgiving dinner what they are having until they get here. It’s become a bit of a joke over the past couple of years – everyone tries to wheedle it out of us but we like the “unveiling” on Thanksgiving day. We’ll have pictures and details after Thursday!
