Happy Monday, all!  Here are some shots from my party this weekend, although they are pitifully few. I didn’t have much time to wield a camera with all the guests coming and going. I have to admit with some embarassment that Hubs and I weren’t the most prepared for a party…

Welcome to the weekly Mid-Century Menu, where my adventurous husband and I cook and eat an “interesting” recipe we find in my collection of vintage cookbooks. Hooray. Sorry for the lack of enthusiasm, but last night’s dinner was…interesting to say the least.  I think it has ruined my love affair…
