summer deck parties. feast, share, love, family

Last night we had a delicious dinner at our new in-laws with only part of our families. Sniffle sniffle.

We had bbq'd salmon, a yummy green salad with little bits of fresh mint and basil mixed amongst the greens, duck fat roasted baby potatoes, homemade focaccia with herbs and tomatoes. 


To finish off our amazing meal, Kirsten made this cake which I really, really wanted to drag my fingers through and and scoop up all the fudgy frosting that was pooling at the bottom of the cake but had to resist the temptation of doing it for fear of never getting invited back to their home...

Because of this cake, today my hair is now this color. Well almost. It is pretty dark and I rather like the change! The hair appointment was already on the books for today. The new color choice was as of last night because of this cake.

Thank you Kirsten for making this amazing cake and also inspiring me to change my hair color to a warm summer chocolate.
