Surf & Turf

Yesterday was the perfect day for a cookout. The weather was great: warm and sunny with the aroma of fresh lilacs wafting through the air.

We had accomplished all of our goals for the day: mowing the lawn, putting on stair treads, sanding the wood floors, and a first coat of polyurethane. By the time 4:00 rolled around, we were all ready to kick back and relax.

The guys had decided to do a Surf & Turf Cookout in honor of the mothers: my mother-in-law, Angelina's mother and myself. Angelina did the grocery shopping; Dave and Jason manned the grill; I made the dessert.

Look at that face. Someone is hungry!

As always, the soy-ginger chicken wings were a big hit...

...even with the girls.

But for me, the lobsters were the highlight of the meal.

It felt so good to relax and enjoy the afternoon!
I think we should do this every year.
