We had our first party of 2009, which went off without a hitch. The food was actually amazing despite me being a little rusty. Jenny was her old self, dressed in a beautiful purple dress and looking beautiful. Many times while she was passing hors D’oeuvres I could hear her laugh from the kitchen and I had to go interrupt her conversations, make her stop talking to the guests and continue passing the food. It’s annoying but cute..
Thirty-one people attended the party and we knew many of them from previous parties in Nantucket and Longmeadow. Although, it was nice to see so many familiar faces, it was hard for me to concentrate on the cooking! I wanted to catch up with everyone but knew I had some serious cooking to do. The tables were set beautifully in a nautical theme with seashell place cards.
