Some highlights of last night’s dinner with friends.
- Sweet corn at its fresh and local peak.
- Three kinds of pasture-raised meat (beef, goat, lamb) cooked over a fire fueled with wood from the same property.
- Homemade coffee ice cream with chocolate chunks.
- Fruit salad made entirely of fruit from friends’ farm. The fruits included plums, peaches, pluots and an unusual and pretty cucumber, seeded. Note to potential fruit growers: Someone asked Lynn whether fruit trees aren’t a lot of work, and her response, “Not if you ignore them.” Which is what she claims to do.
- Fresh, local tomatoes and basil.
Bliss. And to top off the fine food, birthday boy John Hulsey shared his art.

Homemade. Coffee. Ice Cream.
Not to disparage any of the other fabulous sounding menu items, but hand over that ice cream and no one will get hurt. ;-)
Glad you enjoyed such a great meal in great company!
Too late, Jennifer. Too late!
