Catching up to speed

This blog exists to document our epic mealtimes. But we were inspired to create it only after several magnificent meals had passed by. All have been incredibly delicious and deserve recognition. Of course great meals in the future will be more eloquently and mouthwateringly described, with pictures to match. Until then, here's the recap:
