Poolside Potluck Dinner

Cocktails and wine were served.

I made a raspberry lemonade punch

which was a surprising hit

and had to be replenished several times.

Guests brought a variety of appetizers

which included

cheese and crackers

guacamole and crackers

an antipasti

cream cheese and pepper jelly

and this delcious tray of seafood sandwiches and a variety of different ham sandwiches.

Ed roasted a large pork with sausage stuffing.

He also made baked fish.

Guests contributed stuffed peppers and a variety of salads.

Unfortunately, because I was busy putting finishing touches on my desserts I did not photograph the main meal.

I contributed three homemade desserts with an emphasis on summer fruits.

Plum Blueberry Upside Down Cake

Peaches and Cherries Almond Tart

Mascarpone Filled Cake with Sherried Fruits

I am usually behind the camera,

but here I am

presiding over my desserts

(with my eyes closed).
