Our friend Darrell celebrated his 59th birthday with us last night. Here we are at the dining room table:
So here’s to Darrell, and good friends!
I’m feeling especially fond of Frank (2nd from left in the photo). Frank, like Donna and Mary Anne, is Italian-American. After tasting the sauce and polenta I cooked, he pronounced me an official pisano.
Of course I should point out that the sauce is a family recipe from Donna’s side, and that it was her idea to serve it with polenta rather than pasta. But I did cook it, and of course my head did swell, just a little bit.
