This is the time of year when I crave connection more than anything. Connecting with nature, people, music seems more of a necessity going into the dark half of the year. I spent some time with friends this last weekend. A housewarming for Elena and Anthony. There home is warm and vibrant. The food was excellent, Karen made one of her to die for pizzas. She puts her pizza dough on the stone and then instead of tomato sauce she puts baked squash puree. She sautéed some Chanterelles and onions to put on top along with some feta and sliced figs. Oh, how I love her cooking and her. No pictures of the pizza or the get together just some random pics.
