Dinner Party.11 (A Potluck)

In honor of Sister Margarita Aloysius's brief return to the Washington, DC area, Little Gidding hosted a little dinner party, which, due to the culinary skill of the invitees, ended up being more of a potluck: JBL and his wife brought a salad, Stearns baked bread and made garlic-herb butter, I made my favorite meal--Thai curry (although with chicken instead of beef), and Hopkins brought a cheesecake with blood oranges and golden raisins on top. What a delightful evening, with James Poulos on Jeopardy for entertainment during the appetizers (which really hadn't been planned, so we had to improvise with Safeway cheddar cheese and wheat thins and green grapes). Of course, we did spend most of the evening missing Brother O.P., but other than that, it was lovely, with Little Gidding happy to have Frankincense back for the evening.
