A few additions and corrections to the last dinner party post. First of all, I neglected to mention that we had a non-drinker as one of our guests, so he drank Gavioli's sparkling blood orange juice, Knudsen's "Just Cranberry" juice and a very funky (and highly gingery) "Great Uncle Cornelius's finest spiced ginger".
