On Saturday I went with Ruby & Wendell downtown to the Farmer's Market and did a little shopping there. It was really fun and I bought some really good Asiago bread and fresh peas. It was a lot of fun and I think I might have to go down every Saturday to buy fresh produce and goodies. After we got back from Farmer's Market Ruby and I did a little yard work around the apartment (the things we do for cheaper rent...). It was the first time that Ruby had ever mowed a lawn so I had to document the special occasion for her. She did a pretty good job for a first time!
That night Ruby had invited six of her friends to Holly's house and had Wendell make dinner for us (he's a chef). It was required that if we accepted the invitation we would have to at least taste everything that was made. No excuses - unless it was for allergies. It was so good and a lot of fun. I had to take pictures of the food because it was beautiful! We started off with some Asiago Basil bread and Lemon Chocolate Mint bread served with a roasted red pepper humus. That was followed by a green spring salad with champagne vinigerette dressing. He then served a red curry beef stew that had yogurt and toasted coconut on top.
We finished off the dinner with dessert which was a sample of three different taste bud delights. There was a slice of lemon pound cake with lemon curd, nutella, and red & golden raspberries. The second bite was a ginger and nut crusted graham cracker with a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and red cinnamon sprinkles. Last but not least was a grilled peanut butter and orange marmalade sandwich with maple drizzled over it. It was all so good and we all pretty much waddled out of there when it was all done. Wendell did a great job and was always willing to explain to us what he was doing and serving and answer any questions we had. It was a fun night and if anyone is needing a dinner or event catered you should really check into hiring Wendell - it's totally worth it!
