Garden Dinners, Meree's Bithday, and...get ready for this: more UNDERWEAR PURSES

Our garden has done swell this year! In fact, I'm watering the dang thing as we speak. So far, my fave garden meals are thus: Shredded zucchini and tomatoes (freshly picked) fried in organic EVOO with organic Azure Standard basil, topped with Orange Roughy or Salmon sprinkled with organic lemon pepper (Azure Standard freshly dried herbs). Oh yum!

I also splurged and ate real live pasta! But it's mixed with all the good stuff:
Tomatoes, grapes, pineapple, spinach, artichokes,
and a really yummy sweet vinaigrette I whipped up.
I served this at the family reunion.

We have some new prototypes... now the trick is going from A to B: Design to Production (which is really more difficult than it looks). Q is worried that if I post these, someone will steal the idea. We def need a patent. Check out the diaper bag:


Meree is now 23! Wo, I wasn't even married when I was 23... I was out of college and living the good life of leisure. It's hard to believe how different her life is! ...and how amazing she deals with "it all." She is pretty much perfect... and my hero- but then I think you already knew that.


I made the cake:

Chocolate zucchini sour cream on top, vanilla yogurt on bottom- the standard cream cheese frosting. It took forever to make and was good and dense, but really dry. Overall, not a repeat.
