Yippee! Finally the sun is shining, the clouds have parted and it's a whooping 62 degrees hurry break out the patio necessities and let's have an impromptu patio party.
Literally I believe G called me @ 3 to say "let's have people over" and by 6 we were in full patio party mode. I was dragging up the Adirondack chairs and the whole shebang.

| even the neighbors kitty was telling us we needed to be out on the patio for this glorious evening |
That's what sunshine does to this warmth deprived area of the world. We uncovered the grill and got ready to cook.
The menu was simple:
Sliced Jicama with Lime & Cayenne
Chipotle Chicken Sopes (more about these later this week)
Cheese & Meats
Marinated Flank Steak
Halibut with Avocado Salsa
Mexican Style Israeli Couscous
Grilled Asparagus
Our friends arrived
The food was prepared
and we had a superb evening on the patio.
Some game called "corn hole" was played
Laughing & competition continued after the meal. We were so happy to finally have this kind of weather to entertain and enjoy the beauty of a nice day with some great food.
