It was a much needed lazy day for me. My back is giving me fits, so I did stretches, laid on the deck flat on my back and then flat on my stomach which seems to help, iced my back while watching Sunday morning television news programs, and then made cucumber soup to take to my dining-in group dinner tonight. That was my day.
This evening I went to Christina and Warren Brodies for our group dinner. We started with a shrimp cocktail brought by Peter and Karen Baranowski. It was the biggest and best shrimp I think I have ever eaten. My cucumber and basil soup (both from my garden) soup was the first course, a fabulous salad with blue cheese and fresh figs from a friend of Midge’s who has this fig tree in her yard in Queens in New York City, a fabulous entrée presented by Christina with chicken, fennel, and clementines (so delicious),
and a plum torte dessert brought by Jane Woodin.
The entire dinner was a gastronomic delight.
