jan next door is a wonderful neighbor. yesterday at 5pm I called her and said "Is it too early to start drinking?" she laughed and said she had some fresh halibut and she would bring it over and we could grill it. We waited for jim to finish washing from a day decking the front steps with drinks on the top deck with our new fab tilting umbrella
the blue margaritas and dressed the rims with a mixture of salt and sugar... and we had some "girl talk" until jim arrived.
them we were all sufficiently tipsy we went down to the kitchen ....she schmeared ground pistachio nuts all over the halibut steak..... then we sliced potaoes, tomatoes and asparagus... tossed them in oil and rosemary and threw everything on the grill. amazing dinner, amazing company. I love having neighbors like this. spontaneous, trustworthy and fun. YEAH !!!!!
