With ten folks around the table, and two others who had to come later in the evening, it was a great night of feasting celebration at the Roediger House. There was a 10th anniversary for a very special couple and I wanted to go all out for the dinner party. So I pulled up the standard holiday meal menu and went to town with it, leaving us all perhaps uncomfortably full by evening's end.

The sweet conclusion to the evening repast was an apple cake with caramel glaze, a testament to Garrett's baking prowess.
The evening became another grand slumber party, with pool and music and laughter and dancing, with only a limited few insisting that it was necessary to act one's age.
