memoirs of a palate

HOLIDAY CHEER





Sunday we went to a tree trimming party at Dan and Steve-o's place in Park Slope. It was a little rough because I was a touch hung over from having Carter and Matt the night before, but I gotta be honest ... nothing cures a hangover like Dan's tapas. We had some wine and little bites before Dan kicked out the jams with a wonderful lasagna. It was his first attempt at the Italian staple ... and he succeeded. Here's how the rest of the menu went down:

- phyllo pockets with goat cheese and roasted red peppers served with a bit of marmalade
- spinach balls (Dan's famous recipe) with horseradish cream
- holiday snowman cookies
- oatmeal butterscotch cookies

And of course, the delicious lasagna. Needless to say, we were insane fat and full when we finally left BK. Thanks, Dan and Steve!
