My two best friends were here for the weekend. And Dennis went out of town (smart guy.)
We had a great time. Washington DC was looking it's Springtime best, so we snuck in a sunrise cherry blossom tour. (The only time to drive around the Tidal Basin.)
A few highlights, in photos.
snacks: cheese crackers, duck liver terrine, rice crackers, new Spring fromage,
habanero gold jam, strawberries glazed with balsamic & black pepper
Saturday morning the hyacinths all bloomed. intoxicating aroma.
roasted golden beets and ricotta salata over baby arugula with horseradish dressing
Sunday morning, 7am, Washington, DC Tidal Basin - Cherry Blossoms
Sunday brunch: apricots & yogurt, Kaki's Strangled Eggs, scones,
my homemade breakfast sausage & bacon, caprese salad (local hydroponic tomatoes)

What lovely entertaining ideas! Your home and your garden are beautiful. I loved the tulips, especially the renegade pink one! Hubby and I haven't learned to make our own sausage yet, but we would like to. Please let me know if you know of any especially good internet or book resources for learning how to do that.
I think Ruhlman's Charcuterie is a terrific cookbook for sausage-making. I attended a two day class, and that did a lot for building my confidence!
You, my dear, are the real deal. Fantastic!
