Dinner with Many Frends

Last night we had dinner at the COs with three other couples, two of which we had not seen in years. Years! It was good to see them, and notice that things just picked up where they left off. There's nothing like learning how old someone's children are to bring home the whole concept of tempus fugit.
Those are mussels being assembled. First they were steamed and then covered in a really good marinade for awhile. At this point the mussels are being reinstalled on to shells, and placed on shaved ice for presentation.

Food photography with a point and shoot is hard. This is the best photo of the mussels, and it's not that great. You will have to take my word for it that they were just lovely, and they were good. None survived.

I like this picture of Jim.

It was a wonderful evening with friends and good food beautifully presented. I stayed out of the red wine, which was good for me.

Today, it's raining on a charity bicycle ride. I feel so badly for them, it rained on them last year, as well.
