Slept in late (10). It felt really good. Luckily the BC Boys aren’t early risers either – but were up before me and had the coffee on. Nice treat.
They also made breakfast (and cleaned up). VERY good houseguests.
Did a little running around in their Tercel (since my wagon is with Mountainé), up to the shop so Hummingbird could buy a bottle of pear cider for the gathering, then a little sightseeing driver through Leshi to see the late, then back Yesler through Pioneer Square, down 1st to Peco’s Pit for a BBQ sandwich lunch, then home for a nap.
Tonight’s dinner party:
- UncleMarkie
- Hummingbird
- Cyndi/BamBam
- Roxy
- JC (Hawaiian friend of Roxy)
A heavily fish-centric dinner since Roxy is a pescatarian (vegetarian who eats fish).
- Pupu platter of summer sausage and cheese (neither of which Roxy could eat, but it’s what I had)
- Shrimp ceviché gazpacho (recipe below)
- Fresh bread (came out better than last nights, but still a little lumpy, and with water instead of chicken broth)
- Big green salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, Brazil nuts
- Grilled asparagus
- BBQ’d halibut and salmon
Shrimp Ceviché Gazpacho Recipe
- ½ pound shrimp ceviché
- Spicy Bloody Mary mix
- Vodka
In small ramekins split the ceviché evenly. Serving size determines the number of people this recipe feeds. Add ½ ounce of vodka over the top of each. Top with Bloody Mary mix and stir.
Well, that’s it for today – so far no dinner party guests for tomorrow.
Whew.
