Dec 2023

scaled down quite a bit since I don't feel like cooking 7 courses, and one of the couples cancelled at the last minute due to a positive Covid test.

I'm making sole with a lemon caper sauce, baked mushrooms in sour cream, vegan gołąbki (made with mushrooms instead of meat), and barszcz made with golden beets because I don't want a pink kitchen. With sweet potato pie for dessert because the person bringing it is from the Deep South. One is supposed to wait until one sees the first star to begin eating, but it's overcast today.
