2012 Day One

I was fortunate to be invited to Bill's home where our friend, poet and chef extraordinaire, Elena Karina Byrne, treated us to an 8-course meal.  The feast began around 3 pm and lasted seven hours.
I wish I could share with you all the sensory delights I experienced that evening, but alas the best I can do is to present you with a visual feast.  Enjoy.
