Susan's Christmas Cookie Exchange

The rules are simple: bake a dozen or so cookies and bring to the party. Boxes are assembled and everyone leaves with a selection of a dozen or so different sweets. See above our doggie box of goodies and photos from the late-afternoon soiree in Sunset Park. Susan put out a spread of snacks, including: roasted curry carrots, phyllo nests filled with rich Marsala chicken, tiny quiches, spinach and feta turnovers, gorgonzola and brandy dip, hoisin-kissed pork meatballs, egg and onion sandwiches and more! Cafe Drake grazed and sipped scotch and soda to our heart's content.
