What a damn good Bloody Mary...!
The women in my family are all so spunky and full of life. They have so many qualities I'd like to emulate as I get older! Lunches like this remind me of how sweet, intelligent, and warm my family members are and how blessed I am to learn from their experiences and share in their happiness.

The bride-to-be on the left! Her friend, also a bride-to-be, on the right.
Vegetables over puff pastry
My impeccably cooked scallops
Quiche and what the two brides determined to be a very poor imitation of a Cuban sandwich...
Time for gifts!
And now time for dessert.
Chocolate cake with coconut ice cream and some kind of irrelevant garnish.
The cake took...well, the cake.
Lemon tart with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.
Family portrait! We should frame this one.
Welcome to the family, Britta! I promise I won't photograph every lunch we spend together. Alright, maybe I can't promise that.
