- picnicking in the lovely palm garden of the huntington library and gardens
- antipasto followed by stuffed grape leaves
- an amazing salad of arugula, delicious heirloom tomatoes, full cream mozzarella cheese all drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper
- munching on brownie, tart tatin, and fruit tart
- music filtering through the trees
- children dancing to the music
- sampling original recipe, made-with-cane-sugar dr. pepper---slightly fruitier and less carbonated than the typical stuff
- wonderful conversation with doctor dean and doctor doctor
- visiting the american art collection to see paintings by my favorite portraitist
that, my friends, is just about the most perfect evening possible.
I would say pretty close to perfection. As long as no humidity and bugs were present, all is ok...except the grape leaves...not a fan, maybe you aquire a taste for those! Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeletewasn't too humid. really a lovely evening temperature and weather wise. and i don't always like stuffed grape leaves, but these had been marinated and were delicious.
