Good times, good friends, good food, good drink... really, what more can one ask for on a sweltering August Saturday? Our last Pool-a-Palooza was Saturday - 16 people - and it was wonderful. We are so lucky to have such thoughtful, fun, crazy, beautiful friends. With Honey on the grill doing the veggie dogs and burgers, along with some outstanding grilled asparagus, how could we go wrong?
I made three batches of the summertime-salsa and it all went. The hit of the event, however, was the batch of vegan snickerdoodles, a la the August issue of Veg Times (link to come). I used Smart Balance Light as my 'vegan margarine' and was a little worried about the consistency, but they turned out great! I should have double batched-it, they were gone in no time.
With Labor Day coming, I feel like summer is winding down. There are some cool-weather recipes that I haven't cooked in months that I am ready to take off the shelf. I think I have at least one more orzo with tomatoes, feta, and green onions left in the season, though...
