The Goatherd Reads Lolita

A few years after I spent the summer reading the annotated version of Lolita, we embarked on a study of a different kind. We read the book Goatherd style.

The gathering, this time, was at Kate and Peter’s house. They have an unbelievably beautiful home, and Peter can cook circles around any of us — food editors and culinary school graduates included. Here’s Peter with his spread:

Never mind that Peter and Kate have a stunning art collection, an incredible wine cellar or that their home would be the envy of even a shelter magazine editor. We were all slack jawed at the food.

Bravo, Peter. A few more pics, after the jump.

My plate of incredibly delicious food:

Oh yes, the book. The discussion was lively, as always. Being pregnant, I was the only one who remained sober, so you can only imagine. Lolita. Wine. Our gregarious group. Sitting on the porch, watching a thunderstorm come rolling in over the vast front yard. Yeah. Good times.
