We had some friends over for dinner, and I was really hoping to use our new patio. Well, it was too hot and humid. So, we gathered around the kitchen, watched college football in the living room, and the kids ran around like kids do. I sat outside and enjoyed my patio for about 10 minutes after dinner while watching the kids eat dirt, pass in and out of the doggie door, and climb on the jungle gym. C'est La Vie!
Oh, and kudos to me for not wearing myself out cooking for everyone (like the normal Rosemarie would do). I ordered in...BBQ Pork and Chicken from Corky's, with slaw, mac 'n cheese, and baked beans. I prepared a fruit platter, some hot sausage/cheese dip, and the salad...I'll include the recipe for the salad (it was a winner!).
Bibb Lettuce, Dried Cranberries, Toasted Pine Nuts, and Gorgonzola Cheese. Toss.
Dressing: 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1 3/4 cup EVOO, 1/4 cup sugar, 3/4 tsp salt, 2 tbsps poppi seeds. Mix all together except for EVOO....stream the oil into the food processor (or blender) after the other ingredients are mixed. Mmm. Good!
My husband was a trooper today, too...the lawn was mowed, and the laundry was washed...and folded...and put away! Love you!

I like your "like the normal Rosemarie would do" comment...They say the first step is recognizing that you have a problem :) It's about 55 degrees here, hopefully the weather stays nice for a while. And hopefully gas prices drop a little before we come to visit!!! Yikes!
