Inspiration #20: Entertaining Friends & Family

As much as I love to set my weekends aside for writing, cleaning, and resting, I forget how much I love to arrange special dinner gatherings from time to time.  My dad and sister are in town this weekend, so I invited a couple of friends over to fill out the table and enjoy some food and games with us.  We enjoyed a big tray of lasagna, delicious garlic bread, wine, and a caramel chocolate tart with hazelnuts and espresso for dessert.  Assembling a group of people and cooking for them makes me feel wonderful.  Plus, it's always fun to try a fancy recipe and get out the nice silverware!
