On Tuesday our friends Steve and Barb Adams from Webster Groves, St Louis joined us for dinner. Barb has been my inspiration to start this blog. Both also enjoy good food and wine. Steve has taken many of the wonderful photos we have of the farm - it is great to have a professional photographer in our midst.
I had to serve the zucchini blossoms and other fried herbs and vegetables. Mark and his wood-fired oven had their turn - rib eyes, grilled to perfection, then dipped in Colli Etruschi EVOO and rosemary, thinly sliced and served on a bed of peppery rocket from our garden. Side dishes of our peas, in mint and feta, and our green beans. I did a blackberry crostata, which we served with dewberry icecream we had made and served on Sunday. We need another post to list the wines we drank, although a highlight was the Clos Ste Magdeleine 2007 from Cassis FR. This brought back memories for us all - both couples having spent some time in that area in the last twelve months. After 7 hours of non stop talking and catching up, we headed to bed.

I realized I omitted your crostata from my blog post, not because it wasn't great, but by the time you served it the light had faded and there was no photo!
