Hi Carole. I love your questions – so interesting and making connections between food, literature and culture. It just so happens that I read an article earlier this winter that had to do with Downton Abby theme parties. It stuck in my mind as a fun idea. Seems like people are doing everything from all out English Banquets to berries and cream to British cheese platters. Here’s the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/19/fashion/downton-abbey-inspires-themed-viewing-parties.html
Hope this helps. Let me know what you make. “Tally Ho” and have a wonderful time on Sunday- Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I was hoping hoping you might have a suggestion for me for Sunday night. A neighbor is coming over with some port to watch the season finale of “Downton Abby”. I’d like to cook something delicious for us to nibble on while we sip our port. It could be “upstairs” or “downstairs”. I knew you would be the person to go to. Any ideas? It would be fun to make something that was popular in Edwardian England. Thanks! Carole

Yum. Yum. Your post makes my mouth water for mushrooms and my body to be back in cold, cold Vermont. ! Despite the fact that I am reading this from 70-degree Mexico, with the Caribbean sloshing 50 yards from my door, and live music of a violin and guitar duet playing 8 feet away.
Home. The pots, the fireplace, the family, the food. That is where the comfort rests. Thank you!

I gave my feline fanatic daughter The French Cat after I read about it on your new site, which btw, I love. The book was one of her favorite Christmas gifts.

Lisa,

I loved your food/art tour of the Met. It looks as if you and Lily had a wonderful time in the Big Apple.

Yes! We are currently out of room in our backyard composting bin and I don’t know what to do next…
