a whisk and a spoon

Last night…

…my husband and I had the most wonderful dinner, part of a series of coast-to-coast outdoor events put on by Outstanding in the Field.  They stretch their long, white-clothed tables through some of the most dramatic landscapes around North America.  This one being in the middle of New York City, they set up camp in a community garden on the Lower Eastside.  Even though it lacks the wide-open spaces of some of their other dinners, they still managed to make it look so magical that I forgot it was 90-somethingº outside!

Or maybe it was really all the Long Island wine that made me forget the heat!

The locally-sourced food was cooked by Chef Bill Telepan, and we shared it family-style.  I’m sorry I didn’t get any pictures of the food, but I was too busy, eating drinking and making new friends!
