"No recipes!" Dave pleads, when I enlist him to help with a dinner party. Mike, by contrast, is a cookbook person. On December 28, 2018, Mike and Heidi treated Lisa's family and Dave and me to a gourmet meal. Mike's dishes were chosen from "Plenty," by the acclaimed chef, Yotam Ottolengi, as well as from other cookbooks in Mike's collection.
The meal tasted Middle Eastern, with chicken and rice, roast sweet potatoes, and baked cauliflower, each with distinctive spices and sauces. Heidi was the dessert chef--her pies, cakes, crisps, cookies, and ice cream are family legends.
We also love Heidi's faux fur placemats, along with her red Christmas cups and reindeer-patterned salad plates.

Did the party really happen if there are no photographs of it? I take no chances that any great event will cease to exist in my family's minds.
