White shoes - no soup - after Memorial Day

Hello! Long time no blog...

I don't think it's appropriate to talk soup after Memorial Day weekend (just like you can now wear white shoes)... although I'll have to dedicate a future blog post to Cold Beet Soup.

Maybe it's time to talk bbq? Tonight, I grilled some:

- baby garlic shoots (they're kindof like mini-leeks) with olive oil, salt & pepper (skewered so they don't disappear into the embers)
- asparagus wrapped in pancetta (on skewers)
- fresh halibut with olive oil, salt and pepper

It was a very "fresh" dinner, onto which I sprinkled a little high-quality Balsamic Vinegar

Eaten with a nice Pinot Noir rose in the backyard to the sound of what I think are starlings making wacky sounds - delicious and simple!
