Getting caught up on the week

Last Sunday was HB's brthday so we had a few friends in for dinner.



What was on the menu??

crudite with lots of dips


steak tenderloin with basil butter
roasted tats with garlic and rosemary


caprese (with a few tomatoes from the garden) salad with balsamic vinegar
panzanella salad (who doesn't like crunchy bread)
HB's Vienna loaf


chocolate lava cakes
my friend is eating gluten free these days so I found a GF recipe
 with
homemade coffee ice cream cream



Monday was a holiday here so Siobhan and Will came out for supper.


Spent time in the garden.
After over 2 months we are finally getting rain!
The next 3 or 4 days there is some rain forcasted.
Yesterday and last night it rained.
I can almost hear the grass and gardens gulping it down.







I spent yesterday morning making peach salsa


My time with the "travelling Susan apron" is coming to an end.


It will be heading outside of Ontario and Canada.
Will keep you posted.
It certainly has inspired recipes and talk amongst my non blogging friends too.

My ladies are enjoying having the windows open altho the squirrels keep them on their toes.


Have a great weekend.
