Besos and I were graciously invited to a cocktail/dinner party on Saturday by a friend of mine.  It was very interesting – a large tent set up in the host’s back yard with candles everywhere, a large marble table with a fire in the center, heaters around and strings of lights everywhere.  And the servers?  There was talk that they were all models.  I’m unsure if that was serious but they could have been, certainly.  Did I mention that there was a film crew capturing the dinner?  I’ll be interested to see if we ended up in the short film they were creating.  We were interviewed and I suspect will be in it.  I did not bring all of my camera gear so these were taken by my phone.

The host had guests from Spain in town and decided to have a large dinner party to bring  a large group of people together over food.  Along with catching up with a friend (which was awesome), we met some really great new people and sampled food from a young chef from Chicago.  He served three spit roasted suckling pigs along with some very seasonal sides.  A really great fall dinner.

Below, the young chef describes the meal he has prepared for the guests.
