This year’s Book Club
Christmas party chalks up there…..way up.
It was a night to remember.
Forget the spit and polish. Pat
and family laid out a splendid country gourmet banquet fit for the landed
gentry. It was true Town and Country
picture-book perfect, as we gathered around the fire-pit to sip our wine, and
bellied up to the oyster table to shuck a few.
Hot butter and cocktail sauce sloshed up to our elbows as we downed a
few bushel full before we were escorted down to the barn for the main
course. Dinner was served in the barn….the
barn to end all barns. Did I say no spit
and polish? I lied. This is definitely spit spot! A true show place. Tables lined up end on end to seat 20. Blazing
candelabras adorned the setting. Bowls
of Brunswick stew were dished out with baskets of breads passed around. All blessed with full hearts for good times
and good friends, we ate with relish and savored the moment. It was definitely a holiday highlight for
me. Thanks Pat for doing it just right.
