summer evening

the weather is so nice today. warm, sunny, and breezy. i had the best dinner last night outside in the backyard. we made whole wheat linguine cooked in herb ox chicken broth tossed with olive oil. then we added steamed baby portabella mushrooms, fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled goat cheese and topped with fresh grated romano cheese and lots of pepper. yum. add a glass of shiraz and a nice conversation and you have a lovely summer evening. i tried to take some photos, but, my polaroids kept getting stuck in the camera again. oh well, i'm sure you can imagine it. hope you are having nice summer evenings as well.

and for today, some links:
