In Minnesota, winters can be, well, uncomfortable. Especially this year! 
So we really NEED, no, DESERVE, comfort food. For those who have read elsewhere on this blog, we get together with 3 other couples each year in deep winter (mid-Jan to Mid-Feb) and comfort ourselves with cassoulet. Paula Wolfert’s cassoulet. As included in her book “Cooking of SW France”. Candice brought the wine and salad. Shirley the bread and dessert. Linda did the hors d’ouevres. Betsy did the cassoulet. The guys provided the glitter and glitz and talked smart. Oh…if you’ve got to “do” winter…this is the way to do it!
Linda did fantastic hors d’ouvres,
Tom Smith, Candice Woods and Jenna
(our J-Term intern) are ready!
Jim does the honors (below).
