The food, the gift exchange, the searching of bags for contraband alcohol. What a great time! Re-live the highlights here, including the recipes I gathered from the sticky tables (bottom of post). Many thanks go out to Jon Dunn for alerting us to the possibility of renting Eastern Avenue Hall, to Laura and Dave Johnson […]
Why do these diners look so happy? Because for every main dish there were two desserts! Maybe I should say life is bittersweet because though we had desserts in a 2 to 1 ratio for our supper club, we were also mourning the loss of our dear dog and supper club regular, Sophie. Many thanks […]
My friend, Hugh, loves his brownies, so I made this recipe for him so he could practice making brownies. Now, I’ve only made these once. Hugh and I are going to have to work together to perfect it. If you and your kids want to join in the fun, feel free! Hugh’s Crazy-Good Brownies […]
Marcia Kantorowski is one of the nicest people I have ever met–to humans and to dogs. When I get worried that Tillie will go for a ‘walkabout,’ I know I can always count on Marcia and her husband John to look after her. (Sophie has figured out that she has a cush life here at […]
I don’t know what Nancy McQuate does better: cook or recruit new diners to our supper club. The woman is a whirl of energy–probably because she teaches yoga and pilates to keep her forever young.

When they first skimmed the skin off the long watermelon, someone thought it was a ham! But oh no! It was a glorious watermelon cake. Cut a long seedless […]
