I’ve shared some bits of our latest family gathering. As my niece Marisa is taking two college level courses in her sophomore year of high school (I've gotta brag some here!), she has not had the time to write the promised review - but she did take these marvelous pictures We started off with the Italian Poppers - definitely well received! In fact, they disappeared so fast, we couldn't get a picture... Then Jeff grilled some shrimp – seasoned with just the basics – S&P, lemon juice, garlic powder… I’ve already told you about the first brussel sprouts that I’ve ever liked. The main course was two versions of “beer can chicken” a la Jeff – one with asian flavors, the other with traditional barbeque. It was amazing that anyone had room for dessert – but my Buttermilk cupcakes somehow disappeared! Most had a combination of the raspberry and peaches with whipped cream – the sweetness of the peaches and the tartness of the berries was a delightful combination, if I do say so myself. I’m feeling STUFFED just writing this! Hope you found some good ideas
