We had this wonderful salad with fresh lettuce, onion, pea pods and sliced beets from the garden and organic cucumbers and peppers. I made raspberry vinaigrette dressing with fresh picked raspberries. It as a great salad! I think I'm going to go get some more as soon as I'm done here.
We also had potatoes that I grilled in foil with olive oil, basil, sea salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese and MEAT! Oh, I'm wearing the potatoes now too! They are my downfall!! I have an excuse: I'm Norwegian. Aren't potatoes a food group all their own?
I made two apple pies. There's about half a pie left, and the rest I think I'm wearing on my tummy! Unfortunately that's my fat collecting area. It's caused more than a few people to ask if I'm expecting, or when my baby is due. The REAL embarrassing moments are when touchy people actually pat my non-prego belly while asking! Ugh!

Yes! I am Irish and I agree - potatoes ARE a food group LOL! Everything looks scrumptious! Your husband is very lucky, you look like you put one heck of a table on!

Oooh, that salad looks WONDERFUL! Would you consider putting your recipe for the raspberry dressing in a blog post? Pretty please?
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to your handsome hubby.
It's a curse of womanhood that our fat goes to our bellies, butts, and thighs. Does it ever go to our bazooms? Noooooooo . . .
I DID mean to put the "recipe" for the dressing in this blog post, but I forgot because my kids were breathing down my neck. I have to fight them for the computer. :) I'll do that right away!
