Dinner w/friends...

 
lavender-coffee cheddar & lemon stilton



~~~~~~~

guacamole w/blue corn chips
grilled veggie kabobs
bruchetta w/ricotta, goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes 
& herbs fresh from the garden
tempranache wine
chocolate meringues w/strawberries & whipped cream

Great guacamole...nice blend of chunky & creamy avocados; not spicy-hot but w/loaded w/ flavor. The lemon stilton was delightful, but the lavender-coffee was memorable!  Kabobs were tightly stacked w/a great variety of zucchini, onion, eggplant, mushrooms, peppers...The tempranache wine (60% tempranillo and 40% grenache) was really quite nice..a light red, perfect for a summer evening.

I contributed the meringues which were like crusty wafers sans the "pouf" & soft centers they should have had. (I'm sorely out of practice and didn't have time to make a new batch.)  Oh well...they tasted great. Strawberries & cream had a splash of Frangelico.

 Great hospitality, great hostesses, great eats, great wines, gracious home...Thanks, Kids!  You always hit it out of the park!
