Food and Drink

Will this be our last time cooking outside until spring?
Len made grilled lamb for our out-of-town visitors.

Lamb, red wine, etc. served to our visitors Evelyn, Tom, and Alice. Photos by Alice.

Breakfast: Len’s cinnamon bread. Also cofffee!

Lentil and barley soup at Carol’s house.

Broth with carrots and chick peas to be served with roasted vegetables and rice.

  
Another dinner, made by Alice: ravioli, chicken, salad, wine.

Lunch at the Slurping Turtle: a sushi roll and Diet Coke.

Angelo’s Diner: Roast Beef Sub, fries, and Diet Coke. Indulgent?

  

Drinks  shared with the bloggers at Elizabeth’s weekly party.

Your food is making me hungry. The sushi roll looks so delicious - I love sushi. And wine is always a good companion to a tasty meal. I pass on the diet coke though.

So much yummy food Mae. Fall (for me at least) brings back the desire to do a lot of baking and cooking. There looks like a lot of fall baking and grilling at your house too. And it all looks delicious. Happy T day. hugs-Erika

Your food all looks SO good, even to this vegetarian. I've never had lamb, but your meal from the grill looks wonderful. Lets hope you get at least one more grilling this year before you have to put your bbq away till next spring. You have certainly given us a plethora of wonderful drinks to choose from. Thanks for sharing these with us for T this week, dear Mae.

That roast beef sub and the grilled lamb .... that's a nice feast. Hope all hit the spot and your visitors had fun.

Lamb. I remember when I was working for VW (not at, I´m never that lucky), we went to the canteen and there was lamb.
I said, "hmmm, baby sheep!". The men laughed. The secretary ... if looks could kill I would be no more.
She never looked at me again.
She had lamb herself.
Sad when you don´t know what you eat, huh?

Hmm... loads of yummy food! (I need to buy ketchup, used it up for Soljanka, thanks for the reminder! And P.S. I answered on Honecker...)

All looks very scrumptious, especially the cinnamon bread.

Your much more apt to catch us grilling in the Fall Winter Spring than the Summer.. I have a pic of hubby grilling in the rain under an umbrella.. We are just not outdoor Summer people.. Never had lamb in my life! Your food looks so good.. With temperatures cooling off i'm going to be hitting hubby up to grill . Happy T day! Hugs! deb

I would commit mayhem to have that sandwich (and fries) right now! Gadzooks!

Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering! All of it looks fabulous. I am jealous! The bread, the sushi, and that sandwich would be my first choices. Yum, Yum. Fab post, Mae, and happy T-day. Hugz

Hello,
Ally the meals look yummy. I would love to try the homemade cinnamon bread.
Take care, enjoy your day!

Jeanie said...

That is the most gorgeously set table! Those placemats are just fabulous -- LOVE that blue. And of course all the food looks so terrific. Delighted that your family is with you -- I know you always eat well when you're together, too -- lots of tasty, inventive cooking!

Divers and Sundry said...

It all looks delicious, and you've got the presentation down perfect. What an attractive setting!

Happy T Tuesday

CJ Kennedy said...

Gorgeous table! All the food! I wouldn't know what to pick first. Oh, wait, I'd start the day with that cinnamon bread! Happy T Day

I love your table setting in the first photo Mae, very nice. Also your soup, at first because of the colour I thought it was going to be pumpkin, which I happen to be making at the moment. Have a great week. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx

Hi Mae. First thanks for the tip on setting the peaches in cake. That is a great fix for sure. All of the food photos here could be in magazines. Your meals always look so darn good. I haven't seen lamb here in my town since I have lived here 15 years. Something they just don't sell here. We wanted to grill yesterday but the rains have come so no more until summer for us. Have a wonderful Tuesday.

Linda said...

Mmm, I can almost smell the food!

Let's Art Journal said...

Wow, so many yummy things to eat - yes please to everything ...hee, hee 😊. Happy T Day! Hugs Jo x

What a fabulous week! We're starting on the homemade soups this week- it's definitely colder and wetter! Hugs, Chrisx

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

You ate and drank well, Everything from your own kitchen looks outstanding as does the Sushi roll. I'm so-so on the diner meal -- Personally I'd save my "indulgent" points* for another sushi and glass of white wine. (*Although if there really were such a point system, I doubt I would ever have any extra points saved up!)

Bill said...

All the food looks delicious. Have a great day!

Delicious looking food and such a fun variety.
Happy Tea Day,

I do like cooking outdoors! It's getting colder, though!
