first day of summer + long-lost friend= happiness.

first off, let me apologize for starting this "best summer ever photolog" with such astounding exhuberance and then proceeding to ignore it for two days. in my defense, the intention was there, but my trusty camera and its well-worn batteries decided otherwise. (wah wah wahhh.)

but now, on with the show!

today i made a dinner for the first "official" day of summer, and got to share it with my good friend, katie, who is a lovely lass that i hadn't seen in an awhile. thus, the night was a smashing success and had resounding goodness in all areas possible.

as for the meal, you can see katie excitedly sampling it in the picture below (or do i see a hint of humoring/disdain in her face as she poses for her freaky friend who is photographing her food...hmm....)




the dinner was a cool/raw carrot curry soup i got from the latest issue of herbivore magazine. the salad was a mix of romaine, spinach, craisins, apples, avocado, and a rasberry viniagrette. if you go to my food blog you can see upclose pictures of the meal, as well as the mouth-watering icecream/cookie sandwiches we had for desert. do it, i dare you.
