My dad's cousin and her husband came over today to visit us all and I was in charge of food... so we made meatballs with a tiny cube of cheese in the middle, boiled potatoes and a cheesy cream sauce. We made a salad with lettuce from the garden, cucumber, nectarines, bell pepper and grapes. I used fresh herbs growing on my parents' balcony and made sure the house was filled with pleasant aromas. Lol. Dessert was coffee and my new favorite, the lemony "cheesecake". I say this with " " because I don't use any cream cheese for the filling, just sour cream and "rahka" which is like creme fraiche mixed with plain yogurt. Kinda. I love the stuff!
Aah! This nasty beetle snuck in and was in our composting trash! Ewwwww, super gross because I accidentally touched it! But the green was just amazing, like an emerald!
After we ate, we went for a leisurely walk to the arboretum to see the rose garden. Summer is great!

Remember this post with the pear blossoms? Here are the pears and unfortunately this is about as big as they get! Our summer is a bit too finicky and short for real pears.
That's all for me. I'll be spending my evening with old school Super Mario World. Yup, wiis are awesome. :)
