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.
My garden: early little tulips
My garden: happy tulips. see the pink one in the back? have no idea where it came from.
martinis in the grown ups room (living room) w/cheddar crackers & habanero gold jam
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.

out of the larder: sour cherries in light syrup and apricots in vanilla syrup
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)
