A Big Night

 







Last night, our friends Penny and Chris hosted the most amazing dinner party ever -- An Homage to Paradise Restaurant, "Big Night" Style. Everyone who came brought a dish. As it was in the movie, the centerpiece of the entire meal was the timpano, which was pulled off without a hitch. Seriously, it was amazing, and I cannot stop thinking about that dish! Everything was quite fabulous, to be honest. It sure is nice to be friends with people who like food. Between the incredible dinner and awesome company we were surrounded by, it certainly was a big night. (I did not leave my seat the entire evening.
