Dinner for Brenda
The
birthday of a dear friend and sister in the Lord is this month, so we made it
special with dinner and an overdue visit that lasted until the hour of midnight when we all turned
into pumpkins and said, “Goodnight…let’s do this again soon.”
Since
this was a special birthday, I decided on a deep red motif and had fun assembling
everything to match a birthday on a tropical August evening. The menu? Green
salad with tropical fruit, avocado, nuts, and bleu cheese, baked salmon and
shrimp in garlic sauce, new parleyed potatoes, baby lima beans, hot buttered
beets, hot cheese bread, and for dessert -- pineapple upside-down cake. Yum!
The tablecloth is from Guatemala, foraged from a huge pile in the market of Port
Barrios, a great place to find unique table coverings and other
things made from native fabric. After the mission work is over, visiting the
market is a favorite thing to do
