A week alter, we were celebrating an early Rosh Hashanah when Peter Kramer appeared at the door
and we noted that the table had been set
with the chalah at the ready
and the preparations
ready for the chicken
as the beans cooked on the stove
and the microwave timed things
when Seva arrived
and Ben posed
and then Ben hid Jane
and finally Jane emerged onto the scene
as the cheese course was being served
along with the photogenic tomatoes and artichokes
as the chips were poured.
Meanwhile, Suzanne and Peter were toasting with their champagne
as Seva and Sarah joined
while Ben and Jane were int eh darkness.
as the appetizers tempted
Sarah
Jane
Peter
Ben
Jane
Jane and Sarah
and Jeff conversed
before we were summoned to the table
and gathered
and were seated
as beans green
and brown,
meat
rice
salad
and butter were served
making my plate look like this before
and like this after.
The conversation continued with Jeff, Jane and George
Suzanne
Sarah
Peter
Ben
Seva
Suzanne
and Ben participating
as apples and honey were passed
and Jane
and George watched
as Ben and Suzanne posed
and then Ben, Jane and Suzanne
Jane and Suzanne
Ben, Jane and Suzanne
Sarah, Ben, Jane and Suzanne
and finally Sarah, Ben and Jane
as Jane observed Suzanne and Seva talking
before George read Seva's article
as did Jeff
Peter
and me in these self portraits so that the discussion could proceed.
Next berries
and cakes
and more berries were served
along with an assortment of chocolate bars
which had to be passed
admired for their wrappers
admired for their content
admired again for their wrappers
and content
before we just admired the collection of wrappers which were now in our stomachs.
