Mother's Day/Birthday Dinner

My favorite foods were on the menu.
Soft shell crabs (I'm to lazy to pick hard shells)

dusted with cornmeal 

and sauteed in oil/butter.

Garlic/wine and lemon pan sauce. 

 

Yogurt/mayo tartar sauce on the side.

 

Baguette

Fresh corn

Asparagus

Strawberries from the farmer's market for dessert.  Yummers.

After School Snack

The requested snack:  a salad of lettuce, tomato, cucs and raspberries (just getting ripe) with Newman's Own.

This healthy dish was topped off with cake and ice cream.

Monday Peony Party

The garden is in full bloom, incredibly lush.  The peonies are superb this year.

Time for a party.  Iced tea, lemonade in the kitchen. Wine and cheese on the deck.

Coffee in the dining room.

Antipasto

Salmon mix

 Desserts, my sister's pound cake

Brownies

It couldn't have been easier.  I made the salmon mix, lemonade and coffee and whipped some cream.  The rest was from the store....grapes, berries and veggies, marinaded mushrooms and artichokes, stuffed olives from the deli bar, bread, brownies, cheese and crackers.  It's just a matter of presenting it well.  It was a perfect night on the deck, not too warm, no bugs and good friends.

Crazy for You

If you like Glee or Smash I recommend coming to the TC Williams musical Crazy For You May 4,5,11 or 12 at 7:30. I've been working with the students for the past month.  They have been in rehearsal since January.  Its a song and dance filled show of boy find girl, losses girl, gets girl while putting on a show in her father's old theatre.  The music is by George and Ira Gershwin.  You'll know the tunes.
Here are some iPhone/iPad shots from the production .
