so a snapshot of what was served for a recent casual dinner on the porch of flowers (next post). it was a small group but i tend to cook as if 20 people will always show up. i love leftovers especially during summer when it's too hot to cook every night.
i use local as much as possible and almost all organic in everything i make. that's very important to me as an environmentalist and for holistic living. the farmers market is overflowing with so much beautiful vegetables and fruits and many other yummies that it's hard to not buy everything!
when you're ready for a dinner party, give me a call and i can help you out! enjoy:) marlo
