Lots of eating over the weekend.

Good morning Tuesday!

How are you guys doing?

Did you have a good weekend?

I really hope you did.

Our weekend was good. I went to see my friend Susanna Friday morning. We got together at this little French coffee shop and I enjoyed a lavender blanc latte and a croissant, yummy!!!

 

Friday evening we hung out on the deck.

The weather was good (thankful for that). Peter grilled Asian burgers and they were served with Asian Cole slaw. SOOO good.

It is kind of nice to have a burger with a little twist every once in a while. I used this recipe in case you’re interested in it.

 

Saturday started with a long, humid and warm walk.

It was gray and the rain was hanging in the tree tops (as they say in Sweden). Later on that morning we went shopping for numerous things.

And we enjoyed a very good lunch out. YUMMY.

Ceviche with shrimps and scallops.  TO die for good!!

I ordered a fried shrimp salads with Asian noodles, sooo tasty!

Saturday evening the weather was brilliant.

Peter and I hung out on the deck for hours, in our shady corner. Peter grilled shish kabobs and we enjoyed those with grilled corn on the cob.

 

In our shady deck corner.

SO YUM!!

Sunday, we went out for breakfast.

I know, lots of eating out this weekend.

Peter devoured these breakfast tacos.

And, I cannot stay away from an omelette ...

And, Sunday evening we celebrated Peter’s dad’s 85th birthday at his favorite restaurant.

Peter’s dad, Pete, what can I say? He’s great, he enjoys life. He’s so vital and full of life. Now he’s been a widower for almost nine years, so I know that he feels lonely at times.

He lives alone with his dog in his big house with a big garden. He takes care of everything himself, except cleaning (he has a cleaning service, and good for him).

He’s driving to the commissary (located closer to DC) when he goes grocery shopping. He is retired from the Air Force so therefore he can forever use all the perks (like shopping at the commissary and many other things that retired militaries can take advantage of).

Pretty soon he’s heading for the beach with Peter’s sisters and their big families (Peter and I are not going on that trip, unfortunately).

He loves to play board games, he’s a master by the grill, he loves working in his garden (but he needs help with the heavier stuff every now and then), he’s handy and a very good father-in-law to me.

Happy Birthday, dearest Pete.

 

As the first starter, a split pea soup.  Lovely!

My appetizer, escargot.  SOOOO good.

My main course, a New York strip steak that was among the best steaks I have ever had.  It was like cutting butter ...

Pete with his birthday meringue. 

My dessert, a rasperry soufflé.

With this I wish you all a good June Tuesday!
