We arrived home from a week away to an empty refrigerator and a full bounty in the garden. While we were away, our new pergola was stained with "fresh brew" and our patio furniture from Room & Board arrived this morning. This afternoon we went to "Entertaining with Bacon" at Surfas and picked up some 8oz martini glasses (finally a normal size!). Cupboard staples of olive oil, garlic, capers, parmesan, and angel hair pasta combined nicely with basil and two kinds of tomatoes from the garden. That along with Chianti and the sunset, and our new patio table is at home.
