Canonigo…The Second Time Around

| December 15, 2010

My family hosted an intimate potluck dinner for friends last Thanksgiving.  It was potluck, yes, yet I still made 4 dishes and 4 desserts.  Being the host, I thought it was only proper that I at least prepared more than my guests did.  So while a good number of people were leafing through pages of [...]

Upon entering the restaurant, diners [...]
