A Table for Eight

The story behind the creation

A thirty-day cooking practice that ended in the first dinner she had hosted in four years.

Three of her ten goals sat in Creativity and one in Relationships. She cooked something unfamiliar twice a week and wrote down what failed.

Nineteen dishes, eleven of them poor. The twentieth became the dessert course of a dinner for eight on day thirty.

The accomplishment recorded in her archive is not the menu. It is the guest list.
