My birthday came a few days early this year, when my kids surprised me with an incredible backyard picnic with some of my very favorite people. They surrounded me with love and good food and laughs and a few tears. They showed me in real time that although I had felt alone on many days this year, I actually was always being held up by a tribe of people who care deeply for me. My daughter Olivia planned and plotted for months and her brother Teddy supported her efforts gallantly (he generously says it was a 90/10 effort). Together they pulled off a day that I’ll never forget. I love them so deeply and they reflected that back to me a million-fold. Thanks to them and my friends who transformed my backyard into a magical vision with oodles of food that I didn’t make, flowers I didn’t arrange, lanterns I didn’t hang, drinks I didn’t pour and cakes I didn’t bake! I would have loved a time lapse of everyone scrambling around working together in the hour I was “at coffee with Uncle Phil.” So many little details: Primo’s donuts, cilantro in the butter, watercolor of our house, a signature cocktail, my colorful mismatched linens, Olivia’s speech/eulogy IYKYK. Priceless. This year, when I feel low, I will definitely remember the love I felt this day and it will keep me afloat till I can reach the shore again. Damn, I love my people. And I have to say it again, My Kids are the Best.

Let the wild rumpus begin! My Personal Bartender came home and whipped up Christmasy Celery Stalks for us all. And by us all I mean that our 2021 holiday party was one other family for an Italian Christmas dinner. That makes me feel safe and also let’s me enjoy people in a way a big party never lets you do. Connection is more important than ever to me. We had such a good time that I only had before and after pictures. No food. That’s how you know what a good time I had!

Cocktail inspiration from @jm_hirsch whose book Shake Strain Done is still one of our faves. 💉 
Get vaxxed and stay healthy, my friends.
