I loved having a pot luck! The food was wonderful! Let's start with the antipasti table. I don't have photos of everything, as I got called away by one of the cooks, but trust me, it was all great!
You can see Marcia's pumpkin humus, cheesy breadsticks, and my bacon baklava.
Sharon's Bristol Farms Antipasti basket was amazing!
Kim made a fabulous cheese tray with cheeses, sopresatta salami, grapes, figs, and candied pecans.
Not pictured, were Lou's yummy ham and cheese puff pastries and Shannon's Ruffles Jamon, all the way from Spain!
For dinner we ate my lamb lasagna, pasta with broccoli, caramelized onion and sausage, pumpkin polenta bites, and three fabulous salads from Nancy, Jane and Barb!

Dessert!
Mini-dessert platters with an assortment of lemon tarts, chocolate cheesecakes and ooey-gooey toffee bars
Apple Cake with cream cheese frosting
Wine??? We managed to polish off a few bottles of white, red and prosecco!

I can vouch for the fact that the food was (as always) outstanding! Just looking at the photos, I can taste it all over again.
Thank you, Palma and Brad, for a wonderful GTG!

Everything was indeed as good as it looks. The get together was so special since we were able to see Kim and Chris. What a thoughtful idea that Palma and Brad had to host a party in their honor. It was a lovely party.
