Dinner with Friends
Mary JoOn Monday, a very cold and rainy night, Natalie invited me over for dinner, along with Darcy and Mary Jo. Mary Jo is traveling to Brazil and beyond for the holidays, so this was our last chance to see her for awhile. We missed our other KnitGrrlz, Carla, Brit and Lori, who are all in other locales for now.
Darcy
Cold and rainy...yes. Chefette Natalie warmed us all up with yummy snacks and wine. Her table setting was simple, yet beautiful.
She baked a wonderful savory bread and served it with a salad made from fennel and other goodies.
Natalie served a flavorful and hearty chicken in the pot (Poule au Pot) for the main course....Yummmm!!
Fruited Chicken with Red Potatoes, Vegies
Darcy's Potato Chip and Pecan Sandies
Apple Ambrosia
Darcy contributed her famous potato chip-pecan cookies for dessert, paired with apple ambrosia.
We laughed, talked and generally had a great time. We waited for the rain to subside and bid farewell and bon voyage to Mary Jo. I anxiously await her photos and travel stories on Facebook.
I love my friends!
Hostess with the Mostess, Ms. Natalie
