It hit 90 today. As the sun set, we found a honey-hoisin-ginger glaze for the chicken, tossed it on a bed of lettuces from our garden (baby romain, salad bowl and buttercrunch) and served it with a chardonnay-semillon blend with a touch of black currant syrup, known in some circles as "kir." Oh, and I've started a photo blog so maybe I'll post more often. Maybe.

It was a big outdoors weekend for us - the patio furniture came up, the grill came out and the garden is starting to show some progress. Plus, we're really liking how the flox is hanging on. See more photos in the annex.

With our vegetable plan slightly stalled, we turned to filling our flower pots on Sunday. And we almost bought too many.

Fine Dining: Tables, tarts and pummelos, oh my

Over Easter, we realized there weren't any photos of our new dining room set anywhere. Nor had we told you about our most recent culinary adventures.

Turkey cutlets in white wine sauce

Tonight's dinner was a new recipe out of our Best Light Recipes book. We added some roasted potatoes, sauteed asparagus and a simple salad. Cooked with, and served with, a Pinot Blanc d'Alsace. Tasty.

We started our weekend rather unexpectedly -- at the Cincinnati International Wine Festival after some co-workers couldn't use their tickets. If I marked everything correctly, we tasted 33 wines. I seem to like Southern France, Jen likes sweet and bubbly.
