Breaking in the New Plates

Including Martha's Mac and Cheese, a Guinness Fresh Ginger Cake, and a Spontaneous Hot Chocolate.

Hey everyone,

In case you missed the breaking news report, Craig got me these gorgeous new plates for Christmanukkah. (If we’re being factually accurate, I got them for myself via a Bloomingdale’s sale and then told Craig that they were his Christmas gift to me. Teehee.) But how to first put them to use? Are they every day plates? They most certainly are not. They’re dinner party plates. So bring on the guests!

Our friends Jason and Jeremy came to join us as our friend Jonathan arrived to stay a few nights. What did I cook on such a festive occasion?
