Summer is coming to an end, along with cooking dinner outside.
Not only is it cooler, the sun sets earlier and earlier. |
In the Kitchen
We included a few interesting foods, but mostly old favorites.
 |
| An omelet on a Micky Mouse plate; shrimp and rice; Dan Dan noodles; another omelet with salad. |

More Cooking and Eating

My long-time favorite cereal at Elaine’s house in Lafayette.
When we came back, Len bought me two boxes of Special K Red Berries. |

A Trader Joe’s croissant and some blueberries.

Outside the Kitchen: An Ice Cream in Dexter

| Dexter is the next town from Ann Arbor. It has a perfect small-town Midwest vibe. |
 |
The last Sunday of the month: a beautiful day for a drive and an outdoor ice cream.
