We had friends over recently and I shared a few prizes from my beet stash. The weather was warm, mostly bug-free and the kids were happy to allow us a bit more than usual of adult-only time on the back patio. Mmmm, savoring one of the last nights of summer in Minnesota with friends.The menu:
- Spinach salad with beets, pecans, goat cheese, red onions and Cafe Brenda's maple mustard vinagarette.
- A fresh baked boule from Artisan Bread in Five
- Herb-Rubbed Flank Steak with Peperonata from Bon Appetit (Aug. 2007) (Try it! Here's what they say-- Why you'll make it: Because it's special enough for company but easy enough to pull off any night of the week.)
- Mashed Yukon gold and sweet potatoes
- Flan

I am so glad that I am not the only person always wanting to take pictures of food. Your pictures are much better than mine, though. And that dinner looks amazing.
