Dh has started the first of the season irrigation, so I am playing with several appies for the kids tomorrow...
The first one I took some aged manchego cheese and cubed it, I also cubed some quince paste, I rolled the quince cubes in toasted,finely chopped almonds put a small sprig of watercress on the cheese cube then speared it with the quince..Looks really dainty and pretty and tastes so good.
The second I made some small bruschetta slices toasted them, tomorrow I'll spread them with some tomato jam,mixed with some mascarpone and then top the thing with some crispy fried pancetta and a pinch of shredded lettuce and a tiny piece of avocado..Kind of a bruschetta BLT:LOL:..Now on to the rest of the dinner..See ya later..;)

That sounds wonderful! I hope that I can have Sunday dinners like you. It sounds like so much fun, all the family and great food! Have you always made big Sunday meals? Even when your big kids were little kids?
My boys are great, thanks for asking. Right now Aidan is chasing Callum around the living room, saying "punker dunker" :LOL:
 
Yet again, another day I wished I was West of here!! And Elf is right, your continued talk about your family is so wonderful! It is what makes you so special, being so loving to and about your family!!

Cora, it is fun..We all sat outside and had appetizers and something to drink today.Watching the kids on the slide and swings was so relaxing and it was great hearing their voices raised in fun..When my big kids were little, every sunday my parents came to visit and would bring DH's mom with them..When see didn't want to come, my parents would spend the weekend with us..They had an Air Stream trailer that they kept parked here so they had a place to stay..Meals were a combo of mine and DH's mom so meals were big and you just hoped everything worked together:ROFLMAO: Around her it was always family,kids friends and lots of fun,,Lots of rum for the kids to run and play, animals, ponies, horses, cows, you name it at one time or another, we raised it:-p Now we are looking for a pony for the little ones ahhh, we do go in circles after all:LOL:

Hmm that sounds yum! I especially love brie on apples, and yesterday we tried a salmon pate on toasted artesian bread that was especially good!
 
Kades, I am so jealous. We are still melting snow piles here, so planting is a good 6 weeks away!
I'm sorry, you time will come and then we can share tales of weather, family and fun time..:)

They let me out of the hospital on Saturday morning, so I just had to swing by Whole Foods for a treat (hospital food is better these days then it used to be, but a low fat, cardiac, low conc sweets diet still stinks!), and we picked up the brie and salmon pate. Also picked up some steel cut oats and got to try them for the first time, DW and I both agreed we would never go back to rolled oats again!

I've allways avoided oats, cram of wheat the like, it just makes me gag..Texture with me is so important..I bought some steel cut oats for the little kids when I ws watching them and tasted Olivia's, thinking hold your nose and swallow, well I love the steel cuts,,they are wonderful..
