About Last Night

Plot only took two photos last night: the table, before anyone sat down or all the food got piled on top of it, and Ducknik's amazing macaroons.




Fortunately, The Great Mushnik brought her camera. Here are some more very nice photos from last night.

Only one more comment: can you imagine transcendent matzoballs? Can this even be possible? Yes, it can. Chef Pickle makes the absolute best, best, best matzoballs in the history of the long suffering, microwave-seduced Jewish people. You can see her in Photo Two in the above link.

The rest of the meal was great -- Rose's brisket and Bill's White Horseradish Sauce, potatoes poached in brisket gravy, beets in cumin and olive oil, Pip's fresh asparagus, muhammarra and jicama, Mushie's huge green salad, navel orange-olive-sweet onion salad, a cabernet from Sam's own vineyard and several other bottles besides (yes, one Manischewitz bottle from which only one person -- guess who? -- drank any), Liz's chocolate flourless cake, macaroons, strawberries -- and more, probably -- but those matzoballs. Holy Moley. Who knew? Not Plotnik, that's for sure.
