This was our first dinner party since Cathy's knee infection, which means the last one we had was about three years ago. We served for an hors d'oeuvre's homemade gravlax with herb butter, capers, lemon, black bread, and gluten free bread for Elena. The first course was brussels sprouts and frisee salad (warm brussel sprouts cooked in butter, put on top of frisee and endive), Ossobuco over palenta (shown in photograph) with a gramelade (parsley,horse radish, orange zest, garlic), for desert we had Caramel oranges (from the new Christopher Kimball Milk Street Cookbook). None of the other couples had met each other before Sunday.
