Chili night came and went. The cast iron skillet cornbread with honey butter was done just right, and the rhubarb pie was perfect! The smoked brisket chili is something special. The post-dinner bourbon was pretty good too.
The gathering was to support a friend whose wife has been diagnosed with ALS and is declining fast. We surrounded him with great food and old friends. By the time the food was plated, he started to sound much better. We worked on a wheelchair elevator today and in spite of what he is going through, he sounded stronger and a lot more positive. I call the evening a success.
I need to say thank you to everyone here that has helped me learn the techniques to put on dinners like this and share good food with friends. Sometimes a meal can make a big difference.
