Save the Dinner Party!
SO I read in article in the New York times today and it really made me stop and take notice. It was an article about the Death of the Dinner Party.

Thanksgiving
I’m sure you’re all dying for an update on how Thanksgiving went on Saturday. It went really well despite the door drama. Unfortunately at the moment, it’s all taking a backseat though to real life drama. I’m unexpectedly and unfortunately off to the US today so unfortunately no time to write more of an…
