Sunday Summer Dinner

Yesterday was a very enjoyable evening.  After a full day's work, Ze invited us over for a post-gala dinner party.  I should have known Ze would out-do herself.  Dinner was outside, summer themed.  Fresh roses and peonies centered the tables, mojito/wine bar, 4 course dinner, and ALL organic foods.  Veggies, fruit, and leafy greens?  From her garden.  Ze and An D are amazing cooks, so I should never expect anything less.  Homemade everything.

Pictures describe this better than anything else~

When we were picking flowers, we found this HUGE weed lol

Fresh berries, vanilla gelato, fresh whipped topping with a sprig of mint... beautiful!

Concentrating  :)
