Because the girlfriend-from-New-York is visiting this weekend, and because she finds it quaint and exotic that people in California actually ... like ... GROW things in their yards, I am planning a dinner that will be based around the produce of my estate. To wit:

A Greek-style salad of sliced *cucumber and *tomato with feta and *olives

An *artichoke-*herb tart a la Messisbugo

A stir-fry of *eggplant, *zucchini, and *red onion with *basil and aged cheese

Lamb chops (with a mint-cocoa rub) served with spiced *plum sauce

An *apple tart with almond-crumb topping

As my grapevine still shows no signs of producing fruit, the wine will be provided by [livejournal.com profile] thread_walker who will be joining us for dinner.

Must be going around. I just made a potato salad that featured my own potatoes, eggs, celery, onion and pickles, and feel absurdly proud.
