Sunday is Pantry Day!

[Kathy]

Okay... its getting busy busy! I am having my livingroom painted - in
honor of your arrival Sunday. Everything should be crisp and clean!
The garden looks great -- hellebore and daffys and hyacinths and
tulips (including a species tulip that is a tight lipstick of red and
yellow stripes when shaded, but opens wide in the sun to look like a
flock of yellow butterflies... so beautiful!

I'll have a full gas bombola for the grill. Donna is making lamb on
the grill. I'll do a risotto primavera with a white wine or champagne
base... and I am thinking of doing the pavolovas again but this time
with a lemon curd/mascarpone whip on top... like a lighter lemon
meringue pie. It's a thought, at least...

Renee is bringing a fresh fruit cocktail of some kind... and I have
wine in the cellar.

Tinamarie? Renee? What else are you considering?

I am so looking forward to Sunday. A chance to relax sit in the
garden, drink wine and make plans for the summer.
I got a new Food & Wine Cookbook (2000) yestersday and there was a
great recipe for potatoe puffs maybe I'll try it. I've also been
wanting some pink grapefruit and fennel salad.

Pink grapefruit and fennel - buonissima! I was thinking of prange and
fennel (cause we made it in Italy all teh time) but I love the pink
grapefruit switch up! What kind of vinaigrette?
