Wasn't it a beautiful Sunday yesterday with blue skies and blazing sun? Spending the day sipping cold drinks soaking up to my ears in the water is something I enjoy and for those that can't take the heat they get inside, fast. After updating the blog I dove into the deep end, touched the bottom, swam a few laps and proceeded to read the paper while sipping ice coffee and nibbling on a croissant with apricot jam. The TdF may be over but you can't take away the food. Even though it doesn't compare to the real thing in France I'm living in the moment and enjoying every bite.

Come in, pour a glass of wine, and relax. One of my favorite recipes was necessary to restore all sanity. It's a dish that I love to make and it tastes exceptionally delicious.

I dream in BBQ. With the summer cookout season in full swing, I wanted to share one of my top wines I like to drink with BBQ. If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you know that I seek out red wine from Spain and Argentina. Theses wines are often unknowns and I like trying new flavors. Argentinians eat a lot meat and make bold wines to stand up the these dishes.

The other item to keep on hand for the BBQ is your sauce. Make it right and it will be talked about for decades, standing on its own or supporting the wine being served.

My little dobie is still recuperating so she needs to stay out of the sweltering sun and inside.
