Will do award after dinner (roast lamb, boiled new potatoes and green and runner beans). Followed by blackberry muffins (blackberries picked from the garden).
Thanks for the company and wondeful info/chat again - see you all next week if I do not catch you before.
Will post awards either later tonight or tomorrow.
All the best

Ok, two can play at this game....
Tonight we're having family over for supper and I'm doing the honors. I have seven thick, well marbled T-bone steaks that I will lovingly introduce to a charcoal fire (but not for long). With that I have fresh yellow crookneck squash from the garden, steamed and buttered, and fresh green beans, big fat flat meaty ones off the pole this morning while they were glistening with dew! The vines are growing so tall I had to use the ladder to pick them all. Anyway, they'll be slow cooked all day with bacon to bring out their best flavor Southern style! My wife is making her classy primavera pasta salad with Greek katama olives, purple onions and hand picked cherry tomatoes (sun golds). I think we'll also kill a couple of bottles of California wine (while cooking and eating)!
