Big Night. The classic 1996 Stanley Tucci film. Back in 2014, Chris & Penny decided to tackle the timpano and host a Big Night themes dinner party. They've had a couple other Big Nights since, but sadly, we've only made the inaugural one. This year's however, was not to be missed. Not only was it a Big Night, it was a surprise for Chris's 50th birthday which is next week. He made the timpano, but had no idea what was in store for him. As we were having cocktails on the porch, an accordion player walked out to begin the night. There were costume changes, menu swaps and festive decorations. Brian & I didn't have much to do with it besides bringing the Crespelle in Brodo, but let me just say, our friends sure do know how to throw a theme party. Everyone brought a dish from the region in Italy Chris's family is originally from. There were corsages and boutonnaires. Wine & whiskey. And so many laughs. Such a great Big Night.
