At Vaden and Ginger's


Tuesday 9 August
Vaden and Ginger have bought their own house on Indian Lake, and it is idyllic.  We went up for a visit and had an evening of good talk, sudden thunder and hail, and great food.  Ginger made us gins and tonics, accompanied by munchies of swiss cheese, some sort of loose sausage, and nuts.  Then we had corn soup, made from a recipe in the Wall Street Journal, garnished with coriander and pine nuts; and fettucine with fresh red and yellow tomato sauce. 
We had brought along one of our Canadian finds, the Featherstone new vines merlot. 
Dessert was Ginger's peach pie/cobbler with hand-whipped cream (Ginger had already gone to bed, so the other three of us were the whippers).  What a sweet end to a day on the lake.
