A few days before we left for Passover in New York, it was so nice here that one night, when I wasn't working, I decided that we were going to eat outside.
So, I picked Rachel up from school, brought her home and started dinner. I brushed lamb chops with some oil and rosemary and opened a container of grape tomatoes, put everything on a pan and put it in the oven. Then I quick-boiled asparagus and made a lemon-butter sauce (NOT hollandaise) to drizzle over it. I had grabbed some cornbread that we had gotten at work one night and heated it up.
Rachel really got into the mood of the night. Totally unprompted, she arranged some cookies on a dessert plate, cut up some pears we had and served them with honey! Drew and I couldn't say enough how proud we were.
We ate outside on our deck. It was a bit chilly, and Rachel wore my fleece, but we had a great time anyway, listening to Rachel talk about all the iPad-related stuff she's doing at school, and sharing opinions about work-related issues (mine, mostly). Really, it's like having a great roommate. Truly, it was a magical evening.

Glad to know about this spring party. Recently I hosted bridal shower for my cousin at the domestic indoor party venue New York and have shared the bash photographs on my weblog. It was also a fantastic party and the décor party also turned out to be so charming.
