Cozy and relaxed Thxgiving Day @casa lingua, since we did a bunch of our prep the last couple of days (desserts, one side). My boo’s fantastic youvetsi perfumed the house all afternoon with fragrant rosemary and luscious lamb, and I just had to shave a couple of fennel bulbs on the mandolin and make the walnut vinaigrette for my salad.
Doors opened at 6, with our dear friends providing the apps for our Greek-ish themed meal, i.e. “Greek” deviled eggs with — you guessed it — feta, oregano & Greek yogurt, as well as a skrompshiss crab dip to snack on while sipping on a few flutes of bublé.
My fasoulakia were the best I ever made 
, and the salad is pretty much (delish) routine at this point.
We took a little break before dessert: Claudia Roden’s wonderful orange & almond cake, as well as Biscoff ice cream for which I was going to throw together a quick boozy berry sauce (frozen berries, butter, brown sugar, bourbon), but everyone thought “just” the cake ad ice cream would suffice. It did.
We had so much food we sent both the ladies home with plenty of leftovers.
A wonderful evening with good friends.
