Dinner with Strangers
Another magical Dinner With Strangers marathon of cooking in the books!
Can’t help but to pour out my whole heart and soul into these cherished moments of offering.
It’s such a privilege, challenge, and delight to fill bellies and warm connection between strangers— with the reminder that any person on this planet might also be a friend. What a wonder to be spinning together here on this sphere, at the same time. A big thank you to Jess Janz for inviting me to support her in hosting and holding space for this incredible event. And, a special shout out to our wonderful sponsors who made the night even more full with community and care @hudsonvalleyfisheries @currentcassis @carneliawine
My intention for the menu was to comfort and intrigue, soothing emotion while bringing curiosity to the senses…
