Jim's sister, Monna, is visiting from Seattle. Tomorrow is her birthday, so tonight's Sunday Supper celebrated her birthday. Tomorrow is also the birthday of our friend and colleague from Grant Design Collaborative, Matt DeFrain, so we invited him to dinner with his squeeze, Krissi. Of course, Jeff and Cory joined us for supper on the porch! It has been raining here in Georgia for over a week, and there is no end in sight. We dined on the side porch, so the rain was comforting. I decided to go French for tonight's Sunday Supper. I made Coq Au Vin for the entree, and started the meal with an herb baked goat cheese salad. For dessert, a classic Creme Caramel sufficed. Great to have Monna here, and all the friends on the porch are merely an added bonus...

Bon Appetit!

We're awaiting the season finale of True Blood! We were in Cabo the last two Sundays, so tonight's Sunday Supper is the first for September. Last night, we cooked dinner at Jeff and Cory's house, and our dear friends, Steve and Amado, came down from Blue Ridge to join us. We had a great time! We recreated a great meal that Jeff had at La Fonda in Cabo: Filet with Ancho Chili and Cabernet reduction sauce, savory mashed potatoes and carrots and sweet peas. We started with Diablo Shrimp tostadas and homemade guacamole and pico de gallo for appetizers and sopapillas with ice cream honey and molasses for dessert. It was a great meal, so tonight's Sunday Supper needed to be a bit simpler. It is slowly transitioning to Fall, so I made Turkey Chili and Cornbread for dinner. We ware having Rice Krispy Treats for dessert with True Blood! So, hope everyone is doing well, and may all of your Sunday Suppers be filled with great food and dear friends.

Adios amigos,

Bill
