A new hope (and lots of food)

Last night (Tuesday) was a historic night. How did I spend it? Cooking, of course! Rita and I decided to join forces and cook some election themed food in her Harlem apartment. Here we are, in bipartisan aprons (Pics courtesy of Rita):


Go USA! Yay Barack! Here's our spread:


We had "elitist arugula salad" with pears, blue cheese and walnuts -


meatballs, sauces and bread to make "uncle sammies" (sandwiches) -


twice baked potatoes (there's no theme there, I just had a lot of potatoes) -


and bipartisan berry cobbler (strawberry and blueberry, for that red and blue look).


We also had olives, cheese, brussel sprouts (those were really good), cookies and chocolate covered peanuts, beer and champagne for the big moment. It was a night to remember (and not just because of the food).
