Sunday morning. Luanne is organizing her week here (doctor's visits, dentist visit, family & friends visits) and then she will be staying out at Lake Orion with my Mom and Jeremy's family for another week.
I took her for a tour of my gardens and yard after breakfast. She seemed suitably impressed.
Jake and Carla came over for a cookout in the afternoon. We started off playing cards (that damn Chicago again!) I lost.
This was my first attempt at grilling seafood on cedar planks. Had the charcoal a bit too hot and caught the boards on fire! Doused them with water, chilled out the coals a bit by spraying water on them and commenced grilling.
Along with the main course, I grilled lemons (this really releases their juices). I also grilled asparagus that had been marinated in olive oil and chopped garlic. In the house, I had sauteed mushroom and shallots with fresh, chopped sage, then cooked that with a wild rice mixture. Excellent all around, if I do say so myself!
After dinner, Luanne taught Carla and Jake how to play rummy. We never got to 500, (too much talking and laughing) but set a time limit, instead. Luanne won (sigh).
Now its Monday, and back to work!!!
