This house is now a home. Fredrik came back from Sweden with a few new recipes under his belt and he's not holding back. Lars is thrilled to still be here! The Chili Marinated Grilled Salmon was spectacular and the New Potatoes the perfect side. The Tomato, Caper, Red Onion Relish and the Wasabi Yogurt Sauce tied everything together. Gourmet all the way. 
Fredrik is back for good! Summer is in full swing and home feels complete again. Our stove is temporarily out of commission, but it's too hot to cook inside, anyway. So, the grill is uncovered and we're going to put it to good use. A simple lunch on a beautiful afternoon. I'm very happy.
The great thing about having our store is that we can make friends in an instant. Last minute we invited Donald DiMartini and Scott Huber to our house for our First Annual Golden Globes Party. Jason and Jeff came too. It was truly a special event for all since we live here full time and therefore have cable. Don and Scott brought over what they already had planned for dinner... Cheese Ravioli, Meat Balls and Sausages. I prepared Nachos, Chicken Tacos and Spanish Rice. Everything turned out great, so it was food, fun, more food and lot's of yelling at the TV. Viva Italia! Viva México!
The day started early at the new home of Karl Åberg and Johnny Roberson in Phoenicia, NY. Lynne Hiriak, Creighton Bowman, Daniel Umlauf and Aude Tabet were their guests for the weekend and we arrived about 2 p.m. Renate, Roger and Paco Blancas arrived later. The food was fantastic... Salmon, White Fish, Beef Stew, Mashed Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Swedish Meatballs, Green Beans and Baked Ham. And, of course, in this crowd the Prosecco and Red Wine flowed like the Esopus River.
