Happy Janet Day
July 8, 2023
T’was Janet’s birthday today and we celebrated with a nice dinner on the patio. How ’bout that!
Her birthday was the nudge I needed to clean up the patio.. which meant cleaning the tables, chairs and umbrella, tidying up the garden, knocking dust, cobwebs and debris off of everything, and doing some (quite a bit of) weeding while I was at it. Kinda overdue, glad it’s done.
Some show-off pics:
The ap was humus and baba ganoush to go with the homemade pita we had (dough from Dror, baked and re-baked here). Presentation: Jim
Dinner was grilled salmon, marinated in soy, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar and a couple other things I can’t remember, served on brown basmati with a topping of cilantro, red onions, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds… which was just delicious! Good job, Jim!
I made a salad with our garden yellow cherry tomatoes, Dror’s clay pot potatoes, avocado, walnuts, dried cranberries, pepitas, red onion (maybe from our garden), croutons, with Seka Hills olive oil and their raspberry balsamic vinegar. Excellent.
Dessert was, by request, that fabulous lemon pound cake we’ve been making for almost two years now.. it’s a keeper.
And here we are!
Cheers to the birthday girl:
