We were invited over for one of Kathy's creative feasts, along with Julie, Sonja, and Stan.
We started with wine and some appetizers: dolmades and veggie chips. Then to the table, where the main course was a sort of Greek shepherd's pie, its filling made with eggplant - maybe like this. Kathy made it from a recipe from her file of old clippings - she says that if the house caught fire, this file is the first thing she would grab.
Side dishes were Sonja's carrots (cilantro optional), and Kathy's roasted beets with butternut squash, which was something like our own beets 'n' sweets.
Dessert was pears poached in wine with a beet to color them pink. And luscious little chocolate cookies cut from a log, with darker chocolate drizzled across them. They were so tiny and so good, you couldn't help eating more and more of them.
Another memorable feast from Kathy's fertile imagination and talented hands. We staggered out replete and happy, to walk down the streets glowing with Christmas lights, in our own glow.
