Well what a great, great evening!! Jean and Roy arrive around 1:45 this afternoon. They came in and got settled and we the most important thing...got the wine opened!
Next were the appys. I did two, a cucumber with a cream cheese, crab and green onions.
We also had a sausage appy -
After that was sitting around laughing and sharing stories. It was so delightful. At one point I was thinking "You know when they come down next month..." Never even occuring to my brain waves that they live so far away. Even though we saw them back in September it was like just a couple of weeks.
Jean just couldn't resist getting hands on Isn't it cute how her blouse looks like a chef's coat?
Time for dinner - Boeuf Bourguignon with buttered egg noodles and grilled apsaragus.
Jean now has a picture of me taking a picture of her. But I got mine up first...neener neener.
Dessert was a sorbet. A vendor of mine brought me a bag of blood oranges. So blood orange sorbet with fresh rasberries and mint
I also took the skins from the oranges and candied them.
The conversations ran the gambit. We talking farms, produce, trailers, motorcyles, grapes, wine, kids, school, books, tv shows. Yes folks you heard it here first...Jean is a Reality Show Junkie!!
Now we need to get our carcass back up her way and steal some of their grape vines
Truly these 2 are the most gracious, easy going and entertaining couple I have ever had the pleasure of meeting!
