Supper with Mummy, Forrest, Sandy, and Mark.

First course: mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and artichoke hearts.



















Jimbo gave me the bowl a couple of years ago.

Second course: vegetarian shepherd's pie...



















Baking in my 1950s Visibake.

And cranberry, raisin, and walnut compote.



















I invented both recipes.

Desert was a gluten-free carrot cake (from a spice cake mix made by Namaste) with vanilla cream cheese frosting.



















It is very, very good- you can't tell that it does not have wheat flour.

I put my red and gold holiday table cloth on the table.



















Note the new ristra chili pepper holiday lights.

After a while Henny-Penny came in for a visit. She had some cake too.



















True story- after she finished eating cake she wiped her beak on a napkin.

She also sat in Sandy's lap.
























She has remarkable table manners.

No big holiday party this year. Instead, a few friends over on Sunday to decorate the tree.
