August - Garden Party Theme

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow??

Apparently, if any of us actually had gardens, they would grow quite well!  We devised a bunch of wonderful garden fresh dishes for Saucy's timely selected theme!

Saucy's summery setting set the stage for scrumptious supping!

 

Grapes started us off with a refreshing white wine, Vina Antigua Torrontes Ugni Blanc (say that 5 times fast) from Argentina.

It paired nicely with Couscous' brushetta of tomatoes, onions and capers.

Saucy proudly displayed her vegetarian lasagna

It was as good as it looked with eggplant, zucchini and chunky tomato sauce

(though Saucy insisted it needed a little extra something; none of us agreed).

 

Grapes shared her summery Thai Cucumber Salad and thoughtfully put the jalapenos on the side, for the wussy Couscous.

We all noshed while enjoying a glass of Couscous' wine offering, Green Truck organic Zinfandel

  Paprika rounded out the evening with a delectable zucchini chocolate cake with strawberries and powdered sugar.  We each had our own individual bowls and yes, you did want to lick the bowl clean!!!

Our garden party was a great success, now if only us city girls had yards big enough to actually grow a garden!!
