A little bit of Catch-Up...





Sometimes you just need a little bit of comfort food. I decided to find mine in the perfect Tuna melt. I know, a Tuna melt? But let me tell you, there is nothing like a Chive flecked scoop of Tuna salad plopped down on a piece of Winter Wheat Whole Grain Bread topped with a fat slice of Tomato & grated Swiss Cheese. Put that baby under the broiler and I am immediately brought back to summer camp. Absolutely
delicious!!!

Another wonderful event that has taken place is the blooming of the Rocky Point Peonies. They are opening up in every shade of pink, red and white. They are fat, and begged to be cut since the weight of the bud pulls the blooming beauties down to the ground. Jessi has been filling the home with Peony bouquets as fast as they are blooming.

After our week long vacation, guests started arriving yesterday afternoon. A few couples from Texas and another from New Orleans by way of Manhattan. They were ready for naps and then dinner.

For dinner we enjoyed...Grilled Filet Mignon on a bed of Montana grown Baby New Potatoes tossed with raw Garlic, Chive Oil and Whole Grain Mustard, and sauteed Baby Broccoli Rabe from the lake front garden. For dessert...Thyme Poached Plums on sweetened Marscarpone sprinkled with Pistachio Praline. Delicious.
