Garden Party

Carmen © Robert Sommers

My friend the accent aigu ´ has planted the massive vegetable garden and she invited a bunch of foodies and friends over for a home grown dinner. Think the zucchinis were trying to take over the world and it was our job to eat them. We had directions to bring the carnage of our choice for the grill. There was chicken and lamb and a whole bunch of stuff.

I wasn't exactly in the mood but I went anyway for the team. These are some of my best peeps. Connie and Dixon brought their granddaughter, Scarlett.

Helene was there as well as Carmen and Mike. I thought Michael was wounded but it turned out to be just mulberries.

The highlight for me were the fresh squash blossoms stuffed with goat cheese. Simply amazing! Carmen and Mike brought a killer bottle that they scored for cheap at Winco. Rare Red, a sangiovese, barbera, malbec, franc blend. Whole meal was epic, Leslie brought salmon and cold squash soup. Everybody brought great stuff, we even had our own gluten free wing. Helene made a great salad with blueberries. Finished the night with a berry cobbler. Glad I went, thanks for the invite.

Dig Dixon's shoes!
