Might I note that after a week of orange juice 10x/day, sparkling pomegranate juice is a much welcomed treat? So kind of Joy and Scott to be mindful of our decorating scheme when picking out their gift. They blended perfectly w/ the table. And thanks for a fun dinner! Y'all come back, ya hear?
db was on grill detail -- ably handled, as always* -- and I have to give it to Whole Paycheck; they make a mean Spinach & Feta Sausage. We've been spoiled rotten though by the insanely good bakery at Weaver Street Market, now too far away from us over here in the hinterlands of Durham for casual shopping, so the bread everywhere else just tastes okay-ish, no matter how homebaked/fresh/organic. I mean, really, Whole Paycheck could stand to up the quality. They get enough of our dinero.
P.S. Joy brought lemon/lime cupcakes for dessert. Oh, heyull yes. Secret ingredient (now not so secret): Williams-Sonoma Lemon Lime Margarita Mix. I hope the hosts of whichever cookout we go to next do not read this blog, because we are so making those cupcakes. And like a moe-ron, I did not take a pic of the cupcakes. Dang.
[*I do wish I had a picture of db grilling in the pouring rain last weekend. An entire platter of dawgs and an entire plate of burgers and nary a one sullied by acid rain. db's got the (organizational) skills to pay the bills. Before the rain came, he'd set up a cozy spot under the picnic umbrella. I, on the other hand, stepped a toe outside the door and reached into the cooler for a drink and, though the cooler was 99% under the roof overhang and I was wearing my rainjacket over my head (not on, per se), I still managed to soak my pants where the water ran off my jacket and in a straight line all the way down my leg. My skills are of another kind, quite obviously.]
