Our good friend Jacob is an exceptional cook. We know because his girlfriend, Meg, tells us. So we invited him over to cook dinner for us, his dear woman, and another of our favorite couples. It was amazing. There are no other words. And my own significant other is in charge of the dishes. Life doesn't get any better than this!
I highly recommend scheduling a dinner party on a Monday, or other work night, so that you are guaranteed to relax before heading back to work the next day. Enjoy!

| After this shot, I still managed to find some rib nibbles for later |
 |
| Um, can you say satisfied? |

 |
| the chef and his right-hand woman |
 |
| still-steaming dessert |
 |
| a hard life--fresh whipped cream and Long Island port wine |
 |
| there are no words |
 |
| it's a hard knock life . . . |
 |
| It brings me such great joy to enjoy dinner with friends at this great table. |
