This weekend we hosted Anita and Alfonse for their first weekend in Maine. Everything was perfect--the weather, the food and especially the company. Classic lobster and corn dinner Thursday night to kick everything off; loup de mer roasted on fennel for Friday night accompanied by a garden salad and potatoes dug up from Jane's garden that very afternoon. The finale on Saturday was steamed mussels and pasta with zucchini, chard and shitake mushrooms.
We drank way too much wine--the bottle count for the weekend was embarrassing--cheered on Michael Phelps as he won his eighth gold medal and watched Usain Bolt cruise to his world record.
We hugged goodby on the dock with an awesome sunset in the background.

Ellen, I made your sunset picture my desktop background (I was a bit confused about looking west over water in Maine but then I imagined I was on the Chesapeake Bay's Eastern Shore, hmmmmm). It's splendorific.
