Dinner and a Movie

What does one do with an over abundance of ripe juicy tomatoes, beautiful basil and a lovely loaf of Ciabatta? Well, I for one decided to make some Bruschetta. MMMMMM! We had picked up some very fresh and pungent garlic at our local farmers market last weekend, and also had a bit of the chevre remaining, so we were in business!

C was doing some grocery shopping yesterday at Whole Foods, where we happen to adore their very fresh fish, so he picked up some Halibut and I made Halibut Provencal. Another winner!

Recipes for both of these tasty treats can be found here.

And for after dinner entertainment, now that the Democratic National Convention is history, we watched
If you enjoy animation and are captivated by color and creativity, this is a must see! We turned on the commentary while the shorts were playing (because I thought I was going to knit and listen....NOT: the eye candy was too tempting!) and I highly recommend you do the same. There is so much to learn from these incredibly gifted designers. We got our dvd from Netflix, but I happen to know that Amazon also has it.

I am very hopeful that the Obama/Biden ticket will be victorious, but if not and, God forbid, something should happen to McCain, would our country be run like a small town in Alaska or like the state itself? I applaud Sen McCain for choosing a woman as his running mate, but someone with a bit more experience might be in order (I have a lot more issues with Ms Palin, but I won't delve into them here).

PEACE & HOPE
