I've neglected the blog..but not without an excuse. I've been celebrating with my family, all of whom descended on Reston at once from Norway and Copenhagen lasst month. Priscilla and the Norwegians have returned home but Katy is still with me until the end of the week. Lovely.
So with so many people around, we were continually planning wonderful meals, either in or out. Since all of us are good cooks, the kitchen became the center of much activity, including a small boy with a bouncing ball and a tall five year old girl climbing over her teen aged boy cousins. Oh how they hated that, you bet.
But this is a foodie blog; so on to the fact that the week we spent together, my family and the family of Pete's Janice, each night a different pair of us would make the meal for that evening. So we had seafood and risotto, burgers on the grill, ciabolli and a wonderful banana cake for my birthday and lots of watermelon and fresh beautiful tomatoes. As an old shore vacationer, I insisted that they visit the candy store and get some fudge and salt water taffy. Several kinds emerged and we spent some time checking which was the best.
That part of summer over, I'm now organizing the food list for the Summerfest party at OLLI on August 23rd. That too will be a food lover's paradise and I hope many OLLI folks have signed up to attend.
