Feast


Yesterday, we had a big family dinner to celebrate my Mom's birthday on her birthday and mine a few days early. (It's hard to get everyone together two times in less than a week.)
It was a day of cooking and an evening of revelry:
Champagne
Lemon-thyme-goat cheese on crackers, marinated mushrooms, marinated fresh mozzarella
Salad with goat cheese, artichoke hearts, and migas, provided by my lovely sister
Butternut squash raviolis with browned butter, sage and toasted hazlenuts
Rack of pork with tart cherry dressing, wilted greens with garlic and oregano
Orange and rosemary olive oil cake, thyme-infused orange and honey ice cream
Now it is Monday.
