This past Sunday marked another finale and, in my home, another feast inspired by Game of Thrones. For the last season-ender, I went all out with decor and cuisine (read about it here). This year’s celebration was more low-key, but the staples were still in place: people (and poodles) I love and plenty of food.

You may not be a fan of the fantasy genre or perhaps you don’t even watch television, but chances are you know something about Game of Thrones. It’s inescapable. The premise of GoT didn’t initially appeal to me and I’ve never been one to devotedly follow a TV show, so I was three seasons behind before I succumbed to the pressure of media frenzy and watched the first episode. One hit is all it took—I was hooked, and the more I watched, the more invested I became. As I disappeared into the complex world of GoT, it infiltrated mine.
