How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! ~Maya Angelou
The city on a holiday weekend is one of my favorite places…the traffic quietens, lots of folks have left town and a general hush falls over everything. We were invited to our good friends, John & Liz, for a Sunday evening Memorial Day Weekend Lobster dinner party with a couple of other friends. Our hosts provided a great Cheese Platter, the Lobster, roasted asparagus, an unbelievable chocolate dessert & the wonderful ambience. We, the guests, brought a fresh garden salad, a bulghur & vegetable salad, hummus & pita, a fresh baguette, wine & Pimm’s No. 1.
We had lots of laughs and a memorable dinner.
Cheese & Wine for starters.
Jill's Hummus made from dried, cooked & blended chickpeas & tahini..the best.
