This weekend’s Secret Pickle Supper Club was our most intimate ever and was held at Steeped and Infused. The theme was Tea and we enjoyed a fantastic meal, interesting guests, and a wonderful venue. We couldn’t ask for better.
Jennifer Best, the founder of Steeped and Infused, who educated us about each tea as the course it was used in was presented. Matt did an amazing job incorporating such a complex yet delicate ingredient into each course.

Unfortunately it was raining when I was taking the pictures so my table setting doesn't look as cheery in the photos as it actually does when laid out. I had lots of fun mixing and matching the colours and could have gone on endlessly but I guess 12 is enough!

Our first Thanksgiving meal was shared with Elise's parents at the Congergational Church's annual community dinner. Her parents are colunteers there. This year they made over 1,500 full dinners and delivered them to shut-ins or fed people who came in off the street (like us!). It is such a nice event. Justin's old gym teacher plays folk songs and all the placemats are decorated by Girl Scouts. The stuffing is vegetarian and my absolute favorite!
