Mar. 15th, 2021 07:57 amSaturday Hirsch & Aldith came over for a socially-distanced outdoor get-together in our backyard. It was great to see them; of course it's been 15 months since we last got to really chat in person. We set up chairs and low tables in our renovated top of the yard.
The upstairs neighbors brought out a couple house-made cheeses and a salad, while I had the third version of Beef Lump and an olive-rosemary-blue cheese couronne. The Beef Lump wasn't quite as successful as the first one (slightly more well done than I generally target) but people yummed up the couronne. (That will show up in the Resolution queue in a couple weeks.) Dessert was a Spanish Fronch Toast-like dish from Curvy Upstairs Neighbor, quite good; and a German Crown Prince's Apple Cake from me, which everybody liked.
We had a great time. Lots of random conversation and I managed to break Aldith. ("I saw Vernal Crown open for Taylor Swift!") The only mildly negative was that the top of the yard got too cold when the sun went behind clouds. We ended up moving down into the garage-level pit, which is nowhere near as nice to look at but was protected from the wind.
It's good to see friends. We look forward to more as it gets safer to do.
