My favorite thing about summer, besides swimming in rivers and soaking up sun, is feasting with friends. My dear friend Natalie, whom I have known since high school, is an amazing woman who knows how to throw a fantastic potluck.
The theme was summer edibles, and so my contribution was fried squash blossoms stufffed with chevre and fresh figs.


here they are frying in the pan.


Some ladies transplanted from Kansas brought a delicious torte with marscapone and grilled apricots.


Erin made caprese on a stick!


Here is Natalie getting ready to put her yummy eggplant dish in the oven.


The spread was bountiful, and we stuffed ourselves silly.
Music was played, we all found ourselves stretched out in the grass. It was the perfect way to end a beautiful summer night.
