It's harvest time around here. We are so appreciative of all our our work during the summer when we're able to use and enjoy our fresh vegetables and flowers.
We spent Saturday and Sunday entertaining friends and here are a few things that we made to eat. It was so much fun to spend Saturday afternoon in the kitchen with Jon playing with vegetables!
Lemony Tuna Salad by Rachael Ray
Greek Pasta Salad (a summer favorite! The dressing is delicious)
Veggie Kabobs
Fresh Basil for basil pesto
And, excitement of all excitement, I'm blogging from my new iMac. My four year old Powerbook, while it's been great for me, will no longer cut it for my grad school computer classes, so I had to do a little upgrade. Thank goodness for my student discount (with my new, official school ID!) and a free printer and ipod (for Jon).
that basil looks so lovely!!! MMMM...

Enjoy your new Mac. And thanks for the Mac-love encouragement. (I left it in Michigan--but will pick it up when I'm back in a few weeks. Can't wait.)
