Gary and Cindy took me to a New Year’s Eve party at a catering facility called Country House – great food, a really decent DJ, lots of their close friends, and much dancing.
The party attendees were mainly folks over 50, and their children (in their 20’s and 30’s). Mostly of Italian descent, which is the norm around New Haven.
The appetizers were served as a buffet, with many Italian foods – meat balls, tortellini, broccali raab, escarole and beans, shellfish salad, stuffed clams and oysters, deep fried ravioli, stuffed pastas, scallop risoto; really, there was no need for dinner. But, there was a salad and then an entre. Gary and I had ‘surf and turf’ and Cindy had chicken florentine.
The lobster was stuffed with shrimp and little scallops. Good food, good company.
And another year begi ns.
