Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

Whew. I am a traveling fool these days. Miami for 4 days last week, Atlanta for 3 days this week, and then Charleston this weekend. Not much time for cooking! But I did get to play sous chef this week at Atlanta Mom's house, which was so much fun. Since I don't have a husband who cooks, I rarely cook with someone else. It was a real pleasure to pour some wine, chop some veggies, marinate some shrimp, and catch up for a bit. Here's what we have determined is the absolute perfect summer meal:

Barefoot Contessa's grilled shrimp served over mixed greens tossed with mustard vinaigrette
Crusty french bread
Sliced tomatoes with fresh mozzerella and basil
Crisp and well-chilled white wine
Blondie brownies

Load up with bug spray, head outside, and enjoy. Heaven.

Off to unpack one bag and pack up another. Happy eating!
