Family Dinner
Family dinner is a weekly event (usually on Sunday nights) - sometimes involving family, sometimes with friends. It’s our goal to continue the family tradition.
This week we had family dinner with eight people around our expanded dining room table, with chairs borrowed from the neighbors (there’s no place to store a set of eight dining chairs in a NYC apartment). This might have been our largest gathering to date (excluding holidays). So we had a big meal to celebrate!
Our menu included local Brooklyn fare from our favorite places to shop in the neighborhood:
Appetizers:
Olives (from Sahadis)
