The Big Meal

Several weeks ago, Derek participated in a fundraiser and auctioned off a multi-course, from-scratch Italian meal for six to students at the law school.  We had it Sunday night, figuring that maybe it would send me into labor.  It obviously didn’t, but we had a lot of good food!

Derek started making the pizzelles and cannoli shells a couple nights before…

We liked the addition of grated dark chocolate in the cannoli filling…

Yum.

So many shells…

My makeshift piping bag.

Finished cannoli

Making pasta.

Myhour-by-hour list of things to do. 

Messy kitchen.

Tommy just sat and stared at the bruschetta before the guys came.

Salad, spaghetti, lasagna, chicken parmesan, foccacia, roasted sausages and peppers.

Berries and whipped cream.

Desserts–wish I had gotten a more close-up picture of the tiramisu. 

I like cooking with my husband.  A lot.  And I enjoyed not cooking for the next few meals while we ate the leftovers!

    Holy Moly!!! The food looks fabulous!!!!!! If the whole law-professor thing doesn’t work out, you and Derek should open a restaurant! 🙂

    Oh, and Keith and I thought the picture of Tommy staring longingly at the bruschetta was just the cutest!
