I have just been told to be more adventurous in my eating! haha. I think I used to be, but it's hard to keep up with a friend who loves baby raw eels as "pasta" and pigs ears and turtle soup... I like your approach by trying the new in the vegetable department. Maybe I'll start there. :-)
It love your ease of hospitality. Sounds like dinner at our house when I was in my early 20s. My father, the cook would never know how many people would be at the dinner table. There were a number of Peace Corps guys interested in me and in getting a home cooked meal. Dad would change cooking methods, add more starch, make another side dish or two and we would all be happy and replete. More than 50 years later, the guys still appreciate those dinners. I know anyone joining in your dinner will remember it fondly.
My favourite kind of meal… a little of this, a little of that, the ease and rhythm of friends creating in the kitchen. Fabulous.
thank-you
Love the evolution of that feast -- and the bitter melon and spigarello, two vegetables that come this way too rarely!
Thanks! And yes, I agree, such a rare pleasure

Vegetables are really a good place to start with both new cooking approaches and new ingredients. And they're often more interesting.
