family feast.

{The main course: salad, beef short ribs, mashed potatoes, carrots, lentils and grilled asparagus.}

I mentioned in last week's small joys post that Nick and I wanted to cook dinner for both of our families. Last Thursday, in the Motherland, we made a huge dinner for everyone at my parents' house. It was a great evening with everyone having a great time. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food too! {All photos in the post were taken by Dominique Adams.}

{Prep.}

{I love my parents' old buffet. It makes serving food really easy!}

{Hummus to start.}

{Nick being very serious about shrimp!}

{And I'm very serious about salad. I only wish I'd taken a photo of the chocolate torte I made!)
