Hubby had been aching to prepare a dinner for friends. I eagerly agreed to play hostess. We invited four of our closest friends plus three of their darling children, and preparations were underway. This was our first 4-course dinner with toddlers and babies at the table, which made for an interesting atmosphere.
First course: Pork Rillettes Served Over Cornmeal Pancakes, Pickled Okra and Beets
Second course: Pumpkin and Walnut Stuffed Ravioli, Baby Spinach, Pumpkin Oil, Nutmeg Cream Sauce
Third course: Pork Osso Bucco, Beet Greens, Slow-Cooked White Beans
Bryce ate his osso bucco rather quickly, which we all felt deserved a photo.
Dessert course: Pumpkin Mousse Parfait (an Ina Garten recipe)
Thank you hubby for a wonderful fall meal - and for thinking to include the rest of us.

I always am amazed at the beauty of the meal and remember the times that I have been apart of the table. I would love to know how the little ones did with dinner. Ded they have the same dinner as the adults?
