Jeana paid me a visit today and I sent her home with lots of herbs from our garden including dill, parsley, oregano, and lemon mint. As always, she looked beautiful so we did a little picture taking.

Rhubarb Grunt a la Nigella Lawson. This was tart and sweet and very very good. A good desert for a hot night.

. Yesterday was scorching and the perfect night to eat outside on the beautiful patio of the Little Door. The dinner was in honor of Annie’s 30th birthday and she most definitely celebrated in style. Happy birthday Annie!

Hope everyone’s having a beautiful weekend. My friend Lisa posted this picture on her blog yesterday from her afternoon in the Palisades. This is my weekend inspiration.

and one more cute one…
