Every couple of years the opportunity arises for me to to cook for a group of people who love to eat, without the usual restrictions of budget, time, and overall pressure to do well.
Just such an occasion arose a couple weeks ago when a friend of mine put in a timid request to prepare a birthday meal for her family.
I'm so glad it worked out that I could do it.
As much as I would've liked to describe it to you, I don't have a way with words the way she does.
See her kind words here. It was a great honor and opportunity for or me.
And thanks so much to the birthday ladies.
