It’s true, it hath arrived.

Upon returning from my second sabbatical of the summer, this time from le sud du France (which we’ll cover next episode), we hosted two back to back events.  The first being The Pied Piper Pot Luck.  Due to weather the traditional cook out was moved in to The New Great Hall by the Sea.  Whenever July 22 lands on a Sunday the Host reads the Robert Browning Version to the assembly, and feast.  Many signed up, many couldn’t make it, but a perfect collection of folks did join.  Here are some of the images, beginning with the lamb coconut curry creation:

I wish there were more food photographs.  There was a lovely Kale Salad, Philipino Adobo fowl, breast of canard, spice drops, etc.  Here are some of the famous deviled quail eggs (a work in miniature):

After a harrowing evening (and some Tech Support – who spent the night) we hosted a Circle celebrating Beachmont Franks Birthday.

Pretty nice, right?

A smaller than usual event, especially with Janice not attending due to an inability to leave an NCIS marathon.

July 4 we hold our annual summer wrap/end of summer event. Subscription is looking lower than usual, which means it’ll be the best event to date. Do consider the Pied Piper Event on the 22nd. I leave for France in the 9th and return on the 19th.

Keep at it!
