Three Cheers for Yummy Food & Grainy Cell Phone Photos!

The Badger and I have been members of a supper club for several years now. The dynamic has changed a bit over the years, it started out with mostly dating couples with large dinners, morphed into a smaller group of mostly married folks, and is now living life as a mostly appetizer & cocktail Sunday afternoon with 3 babies and another due next month! It was our turn to host and naturally the weather was hot. Our plan for a picnic in the park was derailed by forecast thunderstorms & temps nearing the triple digits and was moved into my condo.

{my favorite summer meal: fresh tomato, basil, & mozzarella on a baguette + the beautiful pink peony napkins that were an engagement gift from KP complete with an adorable acrylic holder sporting our new last name!}

I came up with ideas that would not heat up my kitchen as we were going to have 9 people & 2 new-borns in my 800 square feet!

{Currently LOVING trays. I found this aqua + gold one at an estate sale last summer.}

{Is there anything more perfect than sangria with fresh fruit? I think not!}



{Prosciutto, Pancetta, + Cheddar}

{Cheese, cheese, & more cheese!}
