Good Food, Drink, Family

This year's holiday season has been highlighted by visits from Granny Peggy, Granddad (David) and LA-based Uncle Pete. They swooped into town on Christmas Eve and stayed through the 28th, splitting their time between the Lotos Club in midtown Manhattan and the aero-beds on the floor of the empty apartment above ours.

As usual, hearty food and drink were hallmarks of the event. Sunday night we had a beautifully roasted beef tenderloin and a couple bottles of 1997 Barolo that we had "cellared" for the past three years.
