July 2009: Summer Celebration

Thanks to Heidi's parents for offering up their beautiful back-yard we were able to have this month's CC here! A summer celebration - poolside.
Annmarie made an appearance and enjoyed the pool. However, she also proved to be a handful. I love her to pieces, but it may be awhile before she makes another appearance.
Simon of course was a little angel.
Tina (pictured above) provided the drinks as seen in this picture below. The drinks were served in very fine Thomas the Train plastic cups. Keeping it safe for the pool. Not sure if the drink had a name, but I saw that they contained, strawberries, pineapple, champagne, and club soda. They were delish! And AM looks very confused.
Bonnie made an awesome no bean hummus recipe. She ensured us that she will post the recipe to the blog. I think we all agreed that we will be making this one for ourselves. Great for your next dinner party. And her portion size was more than sufficient.
I made a citrus, orzo and arugula salad.
Heidi provided the main dish; these wonderful grilled chicken and vegetable kabobs.....
and tofu ones too!
And finally, Michele made these awesome chocolate, toffee and macadamia nut cookies. Yum!
As always a wonderful cooking club day!
