It turned out surprisingly well and was a lot of fun! The lasagna was devoured, so I'm assuming it was a hit :) Everybody pitched in and brought a different part of the meal, and we sat and enjoyed each other's company. Good times for sure, and as always, dessert was amazing. Monica and Metra thought so too!
And to catch up...Last weekend I went to the once a month all-organic market. It was a little cold and rainy, but the market itself was great. Very laid back and friendly people to talk to and buy things from! I wish I had bought some fresh fig butter but I wasn't sure I would like. I tried Metra's a few days ago and immediately fell in love. Next month I'm splurging! Too good to pass up!
I did get some home-made goat cheese though, which is delicious on toast with jam. There was a big table with lots of other cheeses too, but some of them were a little to moldy and exotic for me to try just then. Maybe next time...I thought this one with the purple mold was especially interesting! The peccorino cheese here is to die for, and the stinkier it is the better!!
In addition to food, there were a number of homeapathy tents etc... I especially liked the soap tent! We walked up to it sniffing and smiling, and the lady just smiled and encouraged us to continue. She probably guessed we would fall in love with her soaps and buy some- I definitely did. She made all of them herself, and each one is supposed to help with some ailment or another. I especially liked the orange scented ones, with actual orange peels in the bar of soap. Just heavenly, as were the lavender, cinnamon-mint, and anice. I didn't think i would like the anice-scented soap, but it was actually really nice. She also had some chocolate soaps, but I thought that was kind of weird to wash your hands with chocolate scented stuff. Plus, it would make me want chocolate even more than I already crave it!
