What we feasted upon:
* K's killer artichoke/spinach dip - this time with the added flair of Tilamook pepperjack cheese in lieu of feta...served with soft french bread, carrots & celery
* Zucchini dip, served with costco's organic tortilla chips -
Ingredients: 1 medium zucchini, cubed; 2 tbsp. white sugar; 1 tbsp. soy sauce; 1 clove garlic, chopped; 3/4 tsp. dried oregano; 2 c mayonnaise. Directions: (1) Place zucchini in a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 5 mins. Drain and transfer to a food processor. Process until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients (except mayo) and process until blended. (2) Transfer the pureed mixture to a serving bowl and stir in the mayonnaise. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
* homemade chocolate chip cookies
* strawberries
* wine, of course!
