Well everybody loved the cookie cake, hands down the popular winner. But the sawdust pudding was right up there and was used liberally with every other dessert. Not a crumb or spoonful of either remained. More than half the sweet egg noodle dessert was eaten and one friend gave it a yiddish name, so apparently something similar exists in jewish cuisine. I was glad I printed out the ingredients and names. My good friend Marjory who eats more healthily than anyone I know came up to me with a guilty smile and a big plate full of the three desserts and confessed this was her second servings.
Stupid me left his phone on the charger at home or I would have taken photos of the spread of dishes for dinner. Obscene in a way. Everyone is such a foody. There were lamb meat balls in sauce, vegetable wraps with peanut sauce, potato balls wrapped in bacon, polenta with three kinds of sauce, ribs, every manner of salad, asparagus in lemon .. all washed down with Corwin's home 'brewed' wines. Only through long experience with PTA luncheons was I able to have a bite (and not much more) of each dish.
Looks like we won't be having either Lia's cousins or her brother from out of state for xmas and her son and his girlfriend will be away too. So this will be our most festive holiday event of the season. Fortunately my brother's family with our surrogate grandkids (nephew/niece) will have xmas eve dinner with us and do stockings with us xmas morning. They'll bring their dog Lily to play with Heidi and Smokey so that our four-footers aren't left out.
Thanks again for the great recommendations. I can see myself returning to the cookie cake again and look forward to trying it when the cookies retain the warmth of the coffee. I'll bet that makes it even better.
