I made two salsas, one with Mango, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro, the other with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, and fresh mint from the garden.
The Peruvian flag in honor of our teacher, Glena and her husband, Raul.
No, that is not Glena in the pink dress.
Unfortunately it was a chilly cloudy New England summer day and you can see the guests looking wistfully at the pool.
Actually some of the men did go into the pool and seemed to enjoy it immensely. The temperature of the pool water was 10 degrees higher than the air temperature.
Our class members and teacher are very creative people, so I asked them to bring some samples of their arts and crafts.
Glena brought samples of her painting and quilt making, Paul brought several of his paintings, Sandy brought beautiful ceramics she had made, and I displayed some of my needlework pillows and tapestries.
Sean brought brought three lovely paintings.
This is Glena's painting which is a depiction of a photograph of my garden pond which I had posted on Facebook.
The main course was make-it-yourself panini sandwhiches, from a selection of:
chiabatti bread
focacia rolls
fresh mozarella cheese
provolone cheese
basil
roasted red peppers
prosciutta ham
honey baked ham
salami
mortadella
Here are Sandy and Roberta building their sandwiches.
Glena and some of her students.
I was very pleased that everyone seemed to enjoy the party.
