Long Weekend BBQ

Y'all may know that I spent most of the Toronto long weekend in my house. Without abatement. At first, I was too tired to go out. Then I had "cooking obligations" aka I was compelled to make 2 tarts, some dinners and a batch of caramel candies. Fortunately, the weather was awesome so we were able to have a delightful dinner party in the garden - finalement. In August!

Here are a few photos of the table:



Um, notice a little something called SUN??!!

Seriously, my gratitude for beautiful weather could not be more sincere.

  1. Oh the garden looks beautiful and the table. And how nice to have the time to create, a lovely space to entertain, and the weather to cooperate.

  3. Such a simple yet elegant setup. I love dinner parties and am so pleased you had sun. The last 2 days feel like they didn't even exist with the constant grey and rain in Cincinnati. But today Apollo returns.
