September Dan Friedman returns to the table -- Talapia at Thom and Jans

Always good to hear stories of the railroad when Dan comes to visit. We had talapia, some exceptional potatoes and cabbage, fruit salad and broccoli. Uncle Ben died on this Monday, so Carol and Michael were busy with other important stuff.

Labor Day Beer Tasting with Sean -- Funny how there are no food pictures after 13 kinds of beer

It rained, but I think I remember that we had food at the Labor day picnic. The only pictures were of the great beer tasting -- lager to porter and back again a few times.

August. Chris finally learns why Thom doesn't take sugar in his coffee -- oh yea, Rose does magic with Salmon

Rose's salmon steaks were sumptuous. Cucumber salad and lovely tomatoes too. But the real excitement came when Chris finally learned the truth about why Thom doesn't take sugar in his coffee. She really loved the story, of course!!!!!!!!!!

August. Linda does magic with Quiche

Linda's incredible quiche will go down in the annals of Monday mouthgasms. Just one question Joe, was that the way it felt the first time you had sex?

July Shirley's here -- Carry-out Mediterranean from Lavash in Thom and Jan's Garden

Mitch's mom Shirley is a regular Monday Night guest. We ordered take out from Lavash, one of our favorite middle eastern restaurants. It was a great July day to be outside.

August -- Happy Ruby Anniversary Carol and Michael

Scallops, lovely scallops at Mitch and Chris'. Jan made the ruby rose bouquet of beets....what else? And the special bottle of Quentessa. Are we spoiled or what?

July on Thom and Jan's New Porch

We were a small group -- pretty nice fresh vegetable pasta if I do say so myself.
