Catching up on 2012

Farewell 2012! You were a great year.

It's been too long, and with this post I will catch up on sharing pictures of places and adventures from 2012. Even though these are a little late, and off season, I hope you enjoy them!

I will post another shortly for 2013.

Fall decorations

 The results of another tasty Quince jam session with Joe!

 Coming home from Tyson's birthday night dinner

  

Right before midnight!

In the distance at Deutsche Oper U-bahn station

and closer.....

and farther....


The most elaborate meal we've prepared and invited friends over for in 2012 was inarguably Thanksgiving. The following images are a detailed account of this culinary production--it was so delicious I can't help myself!

The weather was cold enough to use our bathroom as a giant walk-in refrigerator by leaving the window open overnight....

So as to keep cool our 22 lb. Lady Bird that was specially ordered and killed 2 days prior

The 2 awesome chefs making it all happen, Tyson and Joe

Oh, the magic.

While I took care of front-of-the-house decorations and table setting.... Yes, those are giant clocks, hourglasses, and the sickles of time marching across the fabric for the tablecloth--scored from the Turkish market!

Trudy was one big Lady....

Putting my floral design skills to work....

Oh Trudy....

Cooking can be tiring....

But oh so delicious when it's ready!


  


15 other friends brought other sides to share--decidedly a FEAST


Very good times.

Joe's pecan pie the morning after.... it didn't survive long past this photo....

My husband has the best sense of humor.


After-effects of T-day: re-imaging the last supper one person at a time.

In November, construction started on the roof of our building, and shortly thereafter, this "Golden Throne" appeared in the trash heap.....

I think we may have a joker somewhere in the building.

Scaffolding has been erected around our building, and is still up 4 months later. Ours in the apartment with the light on.

Stephen color-coordinating without trying!

The opening for Megan Cotts' "Honeycomb" show in Wedding

Great work!

Our new favorite Indian food place, Yogi Haus in Berlin-Schöneberg (sadly, nothing will ever be as good as Deli Garden in Highland Park, NJ)


I hope you also had an exploding New year's! Sending best wishes for 2013,
XO Caetlynn
