This has been a rough week. My cat has been sick for a long time and Saturday was the date she was going to the vet to be sent to kitty heaven. I've been dealing with this as best as I can, but it's really hard. How do you say goodbye to a pet you've lived with for 14 years? The only way I could think of was to spoil her rotten.  So I gave her foie gras pâté and an oyster for dinner.

Deviled egg (or two)
Making devileded eggs and eating a few!
I was preparing food for the pot luck I was having at my house that night.
Who can resist eating deviled eggs? Not I my friends. Not I.

Then later, the pot luck started. I was too busy playing hostess to take pictures of every dish, but let's just say that my friends delivered a feast!

Many delicious dishes are missing, such as Heather and Gab's crudités with dill dip and a key lime pie; Annie's pear and almond tart; Josiane and Claude's beet and corn salad and proscuitto-wrapped dattes; and Ellen's yummy cheese with baguette.

Oh also: many, many bottles of wine. Hic! A jolly good time was had by all.
