We're doing something completely different than usual this year, multiple courses, but mostly make in advance:
- some nibbling stuff: white bean spread, olive tapenade, cheese, olive oil roasted almonds, focaccia
- squash puree, tagliatelle tossed in browned butter, fried sage leaves
- leafy salad w/ walnut oil and lemon juice
- polenta, red wine braised beef, roasted kalettes
- dessert TBD - something bright, I think, maybe something with clementine sorbet
