My apartment is, luckily, big enough to entertain. So is my galley kitchen. Not huge crowds, mind you, but the occasional small dinner party (with plenty of food prep the day before, of course). Though I’ll be honest: cramming eight family members into an apartment which usually sees foot traffic of only two per day? About as fun as basting a turkey for twenty.
Yet, that was my fate last Saturday, when my parents, sister, both sets of grandparents, and step-grandmother arrived to spend a long weekend hanging out at my comfortable—but alas, far from palatial—abode. With their loads of suitcases and bags came the age-old question: What to serve? (more…)
