Picnic and peppers (and ribs)

Saturday September 5
Day 2 of our Noël Coward festival at Shaw, 4 plays broken by a picnic lunch of cold roast chicken, yellow and red tomatoes, and mirabelles, looking out at the sailboats on NOTL's eponymous lake.
So as we weren't very hungry that evening, made a version of James Beard's "Italian flag" pasta: red "shepherd's" peppers and zucchini, cut into matchsticks, sautéed with red roma tomatoes, over spaghetti.
We thought we were full but for a non-traditional dessert our nice downstairs neighbor Lauren invited us to join a backyard barbecue, and Allen produced a heaping platter of tasty ribs. We had a great time - thanks, Lauren and Allen!
