Abi and Phil hosted this month's Supper Club, and I'd say it was the best yet. Our theme this time was Fakesgiving - a practice round for the upcoming big day. It was also nice to share such an important meal with friends, both old and new.

Abi's beautiful table setting complete with terra cotta bread dishes and flower pots stuffed with treats.
With our RSVPs, we each gave Abi something for which we are thankful. She transcribed these little notes onto parchment paper and rolled them up inside the dinner rolls. Then we read them out loud to each other.

And then because we didn't have enough to eat, the boys decided to roast chestnuts - Mike's speciality he learned to make in the field while in the Marines, go figure.
The recipe for the Buttermilk Crumb Muffins can be found on Lisa's blog Easier than Pie, who also happens to participate in the Foodie Pen Pals. Next up? Best Ever Brownies.
