Debbie and I had a lovely evening last night...

Debbie and I had a lovely evening last night with Jim and Michelle B., our friends and neighbors.  It started with wine and the appetizer at right: tomato, basil, and mozzarella cheese, seasoned with salt, pepper, and a little balsamic vinegar.  Yum!  Lots of happy conversation followed, along with (lots) more wine, grilled steak and shrimp, baked string beans, and sauteed mushrooms.  We're not even slightly hungry this morning :)

This evening, the four of us plus another old friend (Soon K.) are planning to go up to Cuyamaca for some wildlife viewing, followed by dinner at Descanso Junction Restaurant.  I just hope the winds have calmed down a little by then...
