Tonight the Colonels (Kate & Eric) arrived for a must delayed visit. We had not seen each other in years. What a delight to see the two of the again. They are on a 2 month journey up to Alaska and back to Kentucky. They are such a cute couple.
Markie joined us and with Damon it made five for dinner. We kicked off the evening with cocktails and a lot of laughs and story telling. Soon it was time to get the grill going. It was marinaded chicken this evening.
As you can see, we were having too much fun and almost forgot to take the dinner shot. So besides the BBQ chicken which was marinaded in a balsamic herb dressing. So good. Also made the asparagus and strawberry salad that has been so popular this summer. The other salad was a pasta salad with pesto dressing, toasted pine nuts & grape tomatoes. On the side was sliced olives and feta cheese. Proved to be mighty tasty. Yes, that is a yellow water pitcher doing double duty as a wine cooler!
As you can see from the above and below Eric and I think alike and wear our napkins to catch the falling food...Keeps the shirts clean. It seemed by the comments that everyone enjoyed dinner. For dessert I served a luscious lemon ice cream with blue berries.
One thing that the Colonels do on their travels is to take along Waylen and Earl, their pet frogs. Earl is the naked frog by the way. They pose for pictures and this was one that - surprise - Damon came up with. Always a good time when he is around.
