We had 2 other couples over for a dinner party last weekend. It was our first time entertaining in 2 years. It was a lot of fun. One couple offered to bring 2 appetizers (a raw salmon roll, a cranberry brie in phyllo sheets, the other couple offered to bring 2 desserts (pumpkin pie with whipped cream, a chocolate truffle cake. I had been planning to make 2 different pork roasts, a pork sirloin roast and a pork loin roast. This worked out perfectly. We had fun chatting and laughing over wine and later on some whisky shots (I passed on those). Each couple had a designated driver between them.
The couples also brought flowers, gifts and cards including those delicious shortbread cookies pictured above. The Christmas season is here, time to get the decorations up if you haven't already! I put my tree up on what turned out to be the first day of Advent, November 28th 2021.

This is almost a foreign idea to me - having friends for dinner (other than family). We use to do it when we were younger and lived in a neighborhood but it's been years and years since we have done it. We also use to play in weekly bunco groups. Ahh the memories.
sounds like a great get together 😀
So pleased you had a lovely time with your friends :)
All the best Jan
