sista weekend Part 1

Good morning, dear friends.  Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  

 We were delighted to entertain Sista and Bro In Law (BIL)  for part of the long weekend.  Friday night we went to a cocktail reception celebrating the Festival of the Arts in Maaahshfield Hills.  It was a chilly but clear evening.

Sista checking out the program of events for the weekend.


BIL thinking this could be a veeery long weekend. 


2 wild and crazy sistas ready to party like it's 1999! 


When we came home, the Mister prepared the most delicious dinner of asparagus brushed with dijon and rolled in popcorn.  He also made a salad of heirloom tomatoes, radishes, golden beets and cilantro.


Flatbread of Nann with artichokes, arugula, and a shallot vinaigrette.


Baby lambchops (my very favorite food in the whole world) accompanied by a cilantro pesto.



Sorry no pic of dessert - I inhaled ate it too fast.  It was a banana chocolate conglomeration of total unbridled decadence.  All I can say is it should be outlawed in the state of Massachusetts.

And as if this post wasn't exciting enough, I have a couple of other posts covering this weekend.  
I can hear you counting the minutes right now... 

 Have a sweet Monday!

    The only time I get jealous is when I see pictures of the yummy food your husband prepares. My husband needs me to walk him through how to preheat the oven. Sounds like you had a nice weekend.

    Does your fabulous chef/husband have a particular recipe source for these wonderful dishes he makes? Or does he come up with them himself? I see a future Food Network star: Barefoot Mista.
    Sounds like a wonderful weekend with your family! Thanks for sharing the great pictures!

    Love that blue wineglass - I have some exactly like it - straight from the Dallas Galleria....about 25 years ago. What fun to get to spend the weekend with your sister!
