The Potluck Palooza

The words Community and Potluck when thrown together sound so 70's, even cliche. But if we ever needed a return to things like "Ecology" and "Co-Ops", recycling and cool communal gatherings, there is no time like the present.
Tonight was our first communal dinner and the wine was abundant, the vibe was cozy, the food was heartwarmingly good and our friends were out in number. Quite a success all around.
The award for the best Italian Dish of the evening went to Debbie Natelson for her divine Cannoli. My Mom reminisced about delis in New York when eating hers, and I remembered a certain cafe in Rome I probably knew too well. Deb's ribbon and the prize bar of chocolate were well deserved. Thank goodness she decided to share that too.

We are looking for the next host of the potluck- any takers? If you have dust bunnies overrunning your home, having 20 guests over in a month is a great incentive to corral them. Maybe we'll even let you choose the cuisine - and we promise, we're all potty trained (well, almost).
