Over the last few weeks, my husband and I ventured out to see some friends we had not seen in a long time. It reminded me of one of the things I missed most during the pandemic—sharing a homemade meal with good friends.
I forgot how nourishing it can be for both the tummy and the soul when everyone brings a dish to a host’s house.
At one recent get-together, our dear Indian friends brought shami kabob, an appetizer that I have so missed these past 20 months. Our friend Cathy makes the most incredible selection of Christmas cookies, a tradition she shared with her mother that she continues to this day.
Our other friends brought a salad with fresh pears from their second home in Washington state.
What made this meal special
