How kind, Xavi, and thank you. I too have enjoyed perusing yours ...
Ah, dear Monica, you are a hoot! As you can see, though now home, my head is still at the lake. After catching up here (about to hit the garden), will return on Thurs/Fri ... hopefully at some point this summer, my head will catch up with my body! ((August hugs))
Marnie
Huge thanks, imac ... and I love your photography too!
You are a dear, Clare ... wish I could share this with you! It's fun to capture each month's setting sun while sipping and shooting. Mr. Ho-Hum wipes the rim although a clean glass is best with a sipping one beside :) Though they may look the same, each month is different as the sun dances across the sky. It's a tough challenge but someone's got to do it ... and that would be me :)
Love that Michigan sunset. So spectacular!
Eileen
Hi, Rosey, and thank you. Surrounded by The Great Lakes, we are blessed to see amazing sunsets. Happy August :)
Thank you, dear Eileen. Hubbard Lake is indeed magical. This cold soufflé doesn't flop like hot ones from the oven. When autumn nears, I will make/post my Mushroom Soufflé with White Cheddar Sauce that I haven't made in ages.
Thank you, dear Kala. Happy August shooting :)
Hi, Rick, and thank you. Sunsets and wine go hand in hand :) Always have some GM on hand but mostly for cooking and guests.
Hi Anna! We must have been commenting at the same time. I just visited your stunning new home and surrounding Paradise! I am so happy for you :)
Now, dearest Joey, there are so many problems for me with this delicious receipt which you give here today. First, I have no freezer. Secondly, just the word 'souffle' and I know that I am way out of my depth. Thirdly, my kitchen equipment that I have knowledge of does not,I believe, include pastry bags or thermometers.
What I do have is Grand Marnier which I have poured into a glass and drunk in a toast to your most wonderful pictures of the lake. Here's to you and the remains of the day!!
You are a dear, Sunita, and thank you.
