this year's holiday party was so lovely b/c of all you (except mamie, who was too cool), i can't even make fun of it.
i think you can tell, by my expression here, that i had totally fallen in the kitchen. boom, down. stilettos and a mopped floor.
stockings, pillaged by 3rd world children.
that right there. what jason's holding. the moonshine that did us all in.
skip this bit if at all annoyed by food descriptions that are not ironic at all, but are rather self-congratulatory and pompous. kiwi-lime pie. prosciutto-fig-goat cheese wraps. orzo with mint and raisins and pine nuts. ham-gruyere puff pastries. pistachio-crusted goat-cheese poppers. cheese trays with cranberries and poached pear. peach cream tartlets. mango-honey bruschetta. rosemary lamb with raisin-almond couscous. pomegranate mimosas. salads with parmesan baskets (you melt the parmesan and mold it over an overturned cup)... ok, i can't stop. it's loathsome.
blahblahblah, beautiful people, lovely time. wish i could do it every night.

The moonshine might have done you in. I have a very romantic night after I left your party because of said booze. Its a shame I can't remember anything about it. But still.
I loved those salad baskets. Salad you can eat like taco! Genius!
if i had known, laura, that tom wasn't going to yrs, i would have forced him to babysit. as it was, everyone i had on-call was busy :( i drank a glass of wine, popped a glowing moth pill and went to bed.
slacks, here's hoping yr romantic night didn't happen at home. with yrself.
Jesus. I used to have friends around here.
I know envy is one of the seven deadly sins, but so is gluttony and that hasn't stopped me.
Anyway: I am envious you guys all get to hang out and celebrate the holidays. And you all look pretty and happy. Which makes it even worse.
That is all. Go forth and be merry.
i would like to whole-heartedly second daisy's comment.
The salad baskets were killer. I am so stealing that idea.
PS: Why do I look like I've drank half the jar of moonshine when really I was drinking water all night? Too much cheese, perhaps?
I agree wholeheartedly with Daisy. So. Jealous!!! Everything looks beautiful, and I miss you guys!
lauren: why were you drinking water? tell me you're joking. also, i love this pic of you. so vewy pwetty.
everyone else: COME BACK THEN. it's a total racket. we're dying here without you. love you. dying.
and jarv: you have to admit, it sounded sort of incriminating.
Looks stunning!! ...And, I third Daisy's comment.
Isn't that David H. and David G. (not to be confused with David H.G.) under the mistletoe together? I missed that part of the party! Musta been when Tom and I were outside smoking... which was most of the evening.
omg, ash. that would have topped the raw meat at stevie's dance party.
