What a party!

Last night, C, C and I hosted our Fourth Annual Mom's Party for all the ladies with second graders. It was great fun and super-therapeutic in an "if we rally, it'll be so worth it" way. Tired moms dress up and unite!! The food was great, the wine flowed generously, peals of laughter rung from room after room. Here are a couple of my dishes. I'm happy to have leftovers of both!

Mujaddara for tonight

Won't a warm bowl of this, served alongside a generous dollop of spiced yogurt, taste divine tonight? It's quite cold but we'll be warm, surrounded by friends (who hopefully won't mind my hacking and man-voice) and good food.
