Farewell, Gourmet!

Welcome to the second annual Naughty Table function, farewell Gourmet Magazine! We all brought something from a Gourmet recipe, though funny. . . no one brough aspic!

Here are some cooling galettes (apple and squash-sage-caramelized onion-goat cheese) and pretty tiles:


Among the seven of us I think there were like. . . 12 desserts??? Totally spectacular. I tried to take a photo of one of the plates representing slices of each dessert but the combination of my laughing too hard at the absurdity of it all and the lovely candle-lit victorian dining room didn't make for a great photo. Yum.
