Friday night, after dinner with Lily, Laura and Gabe I met up with some old friends to catch up. It was great to see everyone! It’s now your turn to head to SF – it’s too cold in Ohio!!

Rosalind and Joakim had us over for a surpise dungeness crab version of a Swedish crayfish party. Ros did an amazing job with all the food – and Joakim did his part too – which I think was just to make sure that we sang enough Swedish songs and kept drinking that damn Aquavit. Hey – he did his job, we drank them and even ended up getting kicked out of the Horseshoe! What a night! Thanks for all the great food and drink!

Thanksgiving being my favorite holiday – one day of turkey, gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberries and the rest is NEVER enough! So of course yesterday was the 2nd annual Pre-Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks to the 40 or so who were able to make it! If it grows any bigger next year we may need to rent a new space… or maybe I’ll just have to upgrade to a bigger place! As always a big thanks to Sean for all the help in making sure everything was taken care of! Only a few pictures – I think everyone was a bit preoccupied by all of the great food that everyone brought. Thanks again for the great day!
