Flying in from California, our dear friend and neighbor: Marianne Hurley! It's great to see her!! Tonight was "Meet the Neighbors Night" with Chuck and Gail, us and the Isherwoods whom Marianne has never met, even though they live across the street from the Hurleys!

Marianne supplied us with many gifts from the Santa Rosa farmers market, great sour dough bread, hummus, spinach lavosh, and springtime California asparagas.

With these wonderful ingredients we served Grandma's special turkey juk with brown rice, whole wheat penne with asparagas and garlic, and a tabouleh salad with fresh vegetables. Delicious! We had lots of good wine and lots of good cheer.

Karen's hermits (not from Herman) bars were a yummy finish to a fun evening!

Also staying with us that same day were Val and Wendy from Connecticut, visiting friends in the Poultney area.

They had the same breakfast we served the Magruders:

· Apricot scones
· Cinnamon coffee cake
· Poached eggs & cheese
· Bacon
· Uncle Dave's Famous apple, walnut, banana flax pancakes
· Melon
· Juice
