It was a lovely night...

This weekend we had a few friends and family over. I forgot to take a picture of the rest of the food, but you can see here the steak and fresh pineapple(from my yard) with red onion on rosemary skewers.There was purple sweet potato salad, cornbread with chili peppers, Bar-B-Q chicken, mango salsa,guacamole with cilantro and red onion,organic blue corn chips,grilled artichoke, and blueberries.Mmmmmm. Thanks to Jen Woodruff we had some lovely music, to eat by.Thanks to Michelle and Jeff, we had a super cute baby to take pictures of and admire.When it got dark I lit candles and we sipped wine. Y.B. and Sarah made waffles which went well with the blueberries.
The kids were in the pool most of the time, unless they were eating. It was a lovely night.

Fruity fruity goodness

We have been eating mangoes for breakfast almost every morning for over a week. I think my next perfume will be mango, I love the smell of them so much. I would keep one on my pillow at night if I could. Changed things up a bit by having papaya for breakfast with yogurt in the middle this morning. The mango tree at the office is still giving us delicious mangoes. I saw a recipe for mango salsa in the newspaper yesterday that I want to try now. I will let everyone know if it is good.

A friend gave us some avocados. Avocados are one of my top favorite foods.
I like avos plain, and even on toast instead of butter. I have a good guacamole recipe I should post. My friend Noelle makes chocolate frosting using avocado, and it is so very good. Here is a recipe for avocado mango salad I found at epicurious, and I have all the ingredients for it.Yum.

We also have the lovely Abiu, thanks to my parent's abundant tree. I keep them in the refrigerator, because oh, they are so good cold.
