Summers End
I realized today summer is over in the Northwest.
good thing I bought some dahlias and astors at the farmer's market...
beginnings of a heirloom tomato salad
marinated and grilled portobello mushrooms
steaks for the grill
a Kirkland Chateauneuf du Pape?? oh yes!
a favorite wedge salad
French New Potato Salad with Herb Coulis...recipe found in Cooking Gluten-Free!
go-to side dishes---sauteed cherry tomato and roasted kale
drying rose petals and buds from the yard
I have bags and bags to throw at our children's weddings--she is crazy no?
gluten free heaven in a loaf of bread from Maninis
they call it their Sunflower Bread, and yes you do smile when consuming
the brick oven at Delancey's...this is a big want for me...
See the post on how you can have a gluten free pizza at Delancey’s.
The scene on a July foggy morning for golf at Bandon Dunes on the Oregon coast, a links style course that should be at the top of every golfers' bucket list.
my Bandon Dunes companions--Al, Dad, Mom, Brother Dave
Skagit Valley Tulip Fields
Early settlers saw these madrona trees and thought they were magnolias and so named our little neighborhood near Seattle.
a girls night in Ballard--a woman walked by and said "they are too old for that"
our annual girls camping trip--this year a treat Benihana style
another night of great food and fun friends
morning on the lake
awaiting the sunshine and a lazy afternoon on the dock
our camp project, mosaic
Lisa, our fearless leader demonstrating mosaic technique.
Those camping moms sure look like fun!
They certainly are, especially when the wind picks up and the tents start flying!
What a great few days…food, friends & fun!!!!
