Brown dinner

I don’t generally post much about Brown dinners (aka our alum potlucks) but we hosted on Friday (theme: garnishes) and it was a fun night full of firsts to accompany the normal fun. We made drinks (streetcars and strawberry-basil martinis) and a cheese tray, and everyone else brought borsht, salad, awesome grilled steak, and pretty gorgeous cupcakes.



Here’s everyone prepping in the kitchen...



... and then munching in the kitchen...



And eating (or laughing):



And then we decided to light the fireplace! At first tentatively…



.. and then rambunctiously (photo taken from the fishroom, which shares the gas fireplace with the livingroom).
