Hey Ashley, making this x5 for my annual harvest party (35 guests this year) and this is one of 9 courses. How far in advance can I prep the aioli? And do you serve with warm roasted veggies, cold, or room temp?

Ash, this resonates grandly. ‘elation, depression, relationship highs and lows, parenting struggles, new jobs, changing homes, brain tumors, death, and new life….crying uncontrollably and laughing more..hardship and joy… sorrow and delight. ’ I have to recommend the book With Love, Making Headway. It’s an indie publication, so only available through Volume Foundation . org … and I know finding time to read is a mini feat in itself(!) but it’s beautifully written like you do, with strength and warmth [^ & melodrama .. ^ 😉 ] and the reassurance of a good friend. It relates to everything you mention, and the Foundation raising the support for it are all about the value of sharing real experiences & the power and significance of simply coming together.
And on that note, thanks for journaling so openly here & allowing genuine discussion… and all the best of the season to you!

Alexa, I love that idea. Such a great way to make this meal even easier on the host and also get people involved. Let me know how it goes if you do do this!

What a beautiful meal! I love how you used a communal meal to highlight the importance of building close, consistent relationships with others. I’d love to do something like this with my small group and have everyone bring a 1/2 lb wintry veggies of their choice 🙂

This post is so beautiful, Ashley. The words, the video, the emotions, the recipe. I am lucky to be able to say I have friends like that here in Portland. And those dinners we share (or in the case of last week, brunch) nourish my soul in ways that can’t be fully explained. There’s a kind of magic to gathering around a table with food at the center.

Also, I have to say that I continue to be inspired by your photography and how it unfolds so organically from your everyday life. Thanks for sharing your creative self with all of us and happiest of holidays to you and the family!

This post is melodramatic. Stop being so pretentious and just post your recipes.
