Concert Review and a Recipe!

Last night we saw Ingrid Michaelson at Cat's Cradle. She is so lovely, it was a wonderful show. She is one of those people who you are pretty darn sure would want to be your friend if you ever got to hang out. You know what I mean.


Before the show, Steph and Linda had some folks over for dinner. They grilled fish and potatoes, our crew coach friend and his girlfriend brought sundried tomato hummus and pita chips, and we brought a delicious summer salad, chocolate chip cookies vanilla ice cream sandwiches, and lots of cold white wine. It was fabulous. We sat out on the deck, with the newly mellow dog Lucy (thanks to Prozac!), and enjoyed the relatively cool evening. Then we walked to the show, rocked out a bit, and then all walked home afterwards. It was so mellow and pleasant.. I am one happy camper today!

Recipe for Summer Salad:
One head of red leaf lettuce
Two peaches, chopped into little pieces
Thinly sliced almonds
Fresh goat cheese.

Dressing:
Juice from one lemon
Olive oil
Fresh ground pepper
Two pieces of candied ginger.
Bit of water to dilute.
Let sit for an hour or so.

The lemon and goat cheese were tart and lovely, the ginger and peaches gave a bit of sweetness.. and it was quite fantastic.
