The ShortStacks were in Oakville this past Saturday - seashells, sand buckets and spades in hand - to help celebrate a milestone birthday! On the jukebox (okay, it was an ipod), the Beatles belted song after song. Even Yoko wouldn't have been able to stop her feet from tapping! On the menu, Mediterranean fare - from the islands of Greece, to the sunny shores of Southern France. The kiddies splashed in the pool, and the adults beat the heat with libations from the bar ... and a trip or two to fill their bowls with homemade ice cream. Many thanks for asking us to join you at the seaside Ron - "Don't grow up too quickly, lest you forget how much you love the beach."

| Table nibblies ... |

| Dinner's ready - grab your cutlery! |
 |
| Grilled lemons for the shredded romaine salad. On a side note - if you ever want to know what Heaven smells like ... grill lemons. |
 |
| Orzo picnic salad ... chickpeas, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, red spring onions ... the kitchen sink ... |
And as the sun set somewhere over the Mediterranean sea,
the ShortStacks sent everyone home with a lil' thank you gift ...

| Herbed Mediterranean Sea Salt |
As the object of this event I can't compliment nor thank Jacqueline and Rachel enough for making this milestone birthday so memorable for me, my families and friends.

ReplyDelete"Who's that lady over there in the oversized sunglasses ... and why is she shovelling food from the buffet table into her purse?" :) Love it! Thank you for your kind words, I must admit I was kind of in love with those little jars too :)
