Very nice dinner party! We had an additional guest, my brother's
granddaughter. She is just so much fun. She's never seen a cat before
and one of mine was mixing with us the entire time. One of the others
finally came out to play after she realized the baby was playing with
her favorite feather toy.

Everyone loved the beef done this way, and when cut it was so pretty. A
little more well done than I like, medium rather than medium rare, but
it was still tender and tasty. The dessert was a big hit. The baby even
loved it. It was delightfully sweet and fruity. Brown sugar makes fruit
so much better.
