Pasta, Chicken and Salad


Pasta, Chicken and Salad, originally uploaded by wickenden.

A delicious campanelle with parmeseano reggiano with butter, peas, and a beef sauce. Served with bbqed chicken thighs that were marinated in oil, beer, garlic, pear jam, and kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Served with a salad of spring greens, roasted red peppers, pesto, tomatoes, parmeseano reggiano and topped with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was delicious. We invited Lemar Eyre, from next door, and his daughter Susan over to sit down and eat with us.

I was so tired when I came home from work and was going to nap right away, but deano called and we had a martini. I layed down about 7 and slept till about 8. D. was out in the yard mowing. I began dinner prep (we were out of onions, so I called Betty (deans wife) and borrowed a nice yellow one) . Dinner was ready by 9 (although my pics exif data say 8?? perhaps my clock is on winter time?). It was yummy enough, despite the missing green things.

The other pictures are of Benny at the table, Amy and D looking out at the lavender, and Amy at the table.

Relaxing at the late dinner table (ah, summer!)
