Thank goodness it was more temperate last week and for the Memorial Day weekend. We enjoyed a very nice evening on the back deck of our friends' the Finches in Watkinsville. Princess Lily entertained and the Welles were there too, with a son each from the visitors showing up later to chauffeur the revelers home.
Just a nice, casual, potluck time with friends, but we ate and drank well of course! Food samples: smoked salmon; mozzarella/roasted tomatoes/ basil on toast; Thai tossed salad w/ chorizo, cantaloupe & peanuts; "barbeque" shrimp (recipe from the aforementioned SC Shrimpers cookbook); watermelon and more. Drinks included: Aperole gin fizzes; a magnum of 2002 Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs (really nice on a warm spring evening!); several crafted beers; a magnum of Williams Selyem Pinot and a taste of some liqueur Hugh Acheson brewed up some while ago....
For dessert there was Key lime pie and wonderful ancho chili chocolate (flourless) cake. Roy broke out cigars and the evening wound down to a quiet close.
Let's do it again soon, guys! Good living.
