Belated post!
Two weekends ago, Mr. Keith and I hosted a dessert social, which, I’m glad to say, turned out rather smashingly! He wrote a very nice description of the event here, talking about both the general atmosphere and my extemporized speech. As always, good food and good conversation were shared by those present, though I think my favorite part of the evening was when, after going for a walk, the few remaining guest and I shared sundaes and then all fell asleep for a few hours on our kitchen floor. It was a very agreeable (albeit somewhat atypical) bonding experience. Regardless, I will conclude by reiterating the central point of my speech: I feel very fortunate to know the people that I do.
Also, kudos to The Great Moa for recording the evening for posterity:
Note to self: dessert parties are different than regular parties, in that the leftovers aren’t actually food… As much as it was delicious, I’m sure that eating my homemade apple pie for breakfast on a couple of subsequent days wasn’t a very good decision.
