Team Vince Christmas Party 2005

On Sunday, December 11, Joann and I donated our house for the annual Vince Christmas party. On the agenda was the usual potluck dinner followed by a white-elephant gift exchange. Joann and I tried to make things fun by having folks email us their recipes ahead of time, and then at the party we took everyone's picture with the corresponding dish. The idea was to compile a Vince cookbook that we would print out and send to everyone. Unfortunately, I never managed to get the book put together, and this web page is serving as the repository for the pictures and recipes; I only have three recipes, which is my current best excuse for not putting the cookbook together.

Immediately below are the pictures that I have for some (but not all) of the guests who brought dishes for the potluck dinner. After the recipe pictures, there are a number of random shots from the evening. If you attended this party and would like to contribute some photos, please send them to me and I'll add to the set given here.
